You have been so creative, clever and funny and this tournament has been co-owned by all of you. Thank you all.

ROUND 2 NEWS! I was planning to start the matches tomorrow, but after the announcement about
#Lockdown2
I've decided to postpone it. I think we'll all need a bit of cheering up while we're stuck at home so I'll start it on Thursday and run it over the four weeks of lock down.
