This is a "No Vacation" tournament!

A Warm Houses exclusive, with custom trophies and a theme song (one of your favorites to be sure....)

Here is the theme - no resignations - you have to agree to this - you don't lose until that big soprano belts out (auf Deutsch) that you are done....   "Alles ist verloren".  

This is an honor thing, I cannot set it to preclude resignations, you have to agree to not resign.  Go ahead, die on your feet - that is after all what all those lasses are singing about (when they are not riding their bikes...).

Credits to OttawanII for the trophy theme, Norfolkandgood for a recent comment, and especially vinpaysdoc, for the 167 (and counting) thumpings delivered - and all I have learned from them.

The robust lass belts one out

It is true, the fat lady has sung - a double aria no less, with vinpaysdoc and greatexcalibur tying for first (wine and swords - quite fitting), and featherh hanging on for third.  Congratulations to our champions; a good tournament for all - and thanks to all for participating.

At last, the robust lass sings!  Remember, resignations are not part of this tournament - you can die with your cleats on, you can die in the saddle, or even die with your boots on, but resigning is not an option - play them out, take your beating, give that girl something to sing about!
