Weekly round-up
3 wins for ruskicanuk(Romano-British) has seen him move up into second place in Division A behind front-runner NikiforosFokas (Indians), who has 5 wins from 8 starts. pantherboy (Pictish) and Sennacherib (Armenians) both have won their first 2 matches. Poor old DzonVejn (Lombards) has one chance left to avoid a whitewash at the foot of the table (against ianiow's Byzantines). harveylh (Indians) finds himself clear at the top of Division B after his seventh straight win this week. Excitingly, his two remaining opponents are dkalenda (Sassanids) and markwatson360 (Scots-Irish), who both have 4 wins from 5 starts, and they could gain the top spot if they defeat harveylh. At the bottom, both Trogilus (Ostrogoths) and FlawlessCorn42 (Avars) are still looking for their first win. Division C is still very much up for grabs with FightingPoultry (Romano-British) currently unbeaten in 3 starts, sitting behind youngr (Western Huns), who has 4 wins from 7 starts. oscarius (Pictish) and Ulysisgrunt (Indians) also have 3 wins from 4 and 5 matches respectively.

I have now managed to post all the latest tables and charts. The Sunday round-up posts will have to be done once the forum is working properly again. Obviously we are all hoping that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. The FOGDL season is scheduled for 10 weeks and as this season started on a Monday it is actually 10 weeks and 6 days long. So far we have lost about 4 days, and if we are still having problems by the middle of the week I will extend the closing date to Sunday December 23rd. If this happens, the scheduling for the knock out rounds will also be adjusted to allow plenty of time for those matches to be completed. The second Time Control check scheduled for the half-way stage each season will not take place this time and there will be no further adjustments to the divisions. Instead, once we get going again, I will be writing to those players who have not yet completed 3 matches in a section to make sure they make up time in the second half of the tournament.
