I'm back. Or, as Calvin used to say... I'M HOME! (gets tackled by Hobbes)
Got in early this morning. Happy New Year's Eve to all; I'll be updating my HYO with the next round later tonight.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everybody know that the second series of the Brits' great puzzler, Countdown, begins at 7:30 PM Eastern tomorrow night at xat.com/chat/room/70558482/.
The complete lineup for the series is below. I haven't decided yet when we'll begin the tourney, but I'm thinking that we'll be using the single-elimination format for it this year. With the Swiss system, people were always missing episodes.
