Weekly 5-Map Tournament – Top 5 Cars of All Time - closing 27 Jan 2013

[Helper]

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I actually owned a '55 Chevy.
Candy Apple red and immaculate.
I had hopes of it being a chick magnet...but it turned out to be a ticket magnet.

No 'Stang?

@G -
Pictures would be outstanding, but they aren't displaying in Firefox and IE 9 has the famous empty block with a red 'x' in it.

@deety -
A lot of debate on that, but my girlfriend at the time had brand new '66 Mustang (her name was NOT Sally) and she dumped me for a civilian. I then started dating a contortionist in a Mini Cooper...but this is a family forum, so details cannot be discussed. To make a short story long, no stangs allowed.

ROFL...thanks for the smile.

OK, I did it "the proper" way and the images show up everywhere I tested, which indeed they did not before I made some changes. If it isn't working, I'll just delete them :)

[Helper]

Outstanding - working with both browsers.
Ahh...the memories.

An excellent first day of competition!
Four different Gold Medalists.

All:
FYI - Grauniad has created a Wiki entry for tracking the Players and Scores for this on-going tournament:

I've just finished updating it, but this isn't something I've done before. Please check it out.

Now that I look at it, that Player standings chard could possibly do with a new column for competitions where the palyer did not get a medal. What caught my eye and made me pause was when I saw that the total was larger than the sum of the first three columns.

Edit: But if we are going to discuss this more, we should move this since it's off-topic.

[Helper]

Lots more action and the scores are really tightening up.

44 scores, 13 players.

Result chart (above post) updated.

Heading into the home stretch, the big question is whether Shawn will hold on to that Gold Medal in the Austin Mini game.

[EDIT to correct name.]

[ea3401]

Shawn, not Sean. I think he will.

[Helper]

Shawn, not Sean. I think he will.

Got it - thanks.

I am a long time player but new to the boards. Do I need to do something to play the tournament other than go to the Code section of the game and paste the map name in and select the correct size and difficulty? I promise not to knock anyone from their perch. I am more of a methodical player than an efficiency player.
