In light of the ongoing discussion on the first OSPL announcement, I'll play this, rather than novice.

Re: OSPL 2012-2013 EXPERT - Official Sign Up Post for August
Would the players in the League please email me (greg at historybowl dot com) to let me know their availability for next Tuesday and/or Wednesday, keeping in mind the games will run at either 8 or 9 PM Eastern? I can definitely read Tuesday night for you; I may need to delegate someone else to read on Wednesday as I will be traveling most of the day before 8 PM.

The set we used last night was a hard college set. I think the scores of 80-70 and 85-45 reflect that. It ran smoothly, other than the fact that the set was waaaaaaaay too hard.PastryBowl wrote:Can you elaborate on the sets we will be using? Also, how was Match One

The majority of responses I've heard for the final are for having it on Wednesday, so that's what's happening. In any of the finalists see this post, what is your preference for a time? 8 pm or 9?
