Re: The 70s Cup- Groups, Results & Standings
Dave messaged me on FB telling me he was very busy...so unfortunately he is now out of the Cup. Thank God Polishgirl was so kind to step in his shoes and has submitted a list.
Round 2 is up and will be tallied on Wednesday October 24 (Aussie time, so that will be around Tuesday night for most!)

I think I'm fucked already. I can't believe I drew Beefheart and Bowie in my opening two rounds!
I think Maarts must've handicapped me for being too successful over the years.

One of the best parts of the BCB Cup-traditions is the Bitter Recriminations-thread that invariably contains the sighs, moans, complaints and righteous anger of those defeated.
Please, don't shy away from a deserved lashing of cloth-eared gimps deserving of your wrath.
