@wheel158,
Excellent! I, too, get 26 players.
How about putting on name tags. Please indicate where you - and any other
players you know - are from.

@wheel158,
Neat to see a goodly crowd, and good for Wheel.
And hi, lmur, long time no see.
Good evening. There are now about 20 or so hours to get in on this game and then my job will be over. I've enjoyed the organizing and the trolling for players. I'm not looking forward to keeping score of medals won for the next few weeks.
I propose that we divide the 26 or so players into 4 leagues of 6 or so players in each league, with each having a commissioner, who would be in charge of keeping track of the medal count periodically.
The commish of each league gets to choose a scary name for the league.
Players compete for the overall winner in the games overall, but also for the league championship. And the leagues vie against each other.
I need 4 or 5 volunteers for the positions of commish. It's really not too involved.
I can assign players to one of the leagues at random. unless all of the Wheelers want to be in the same league.
