Oh, really? If taking monthly wins were so meaningless then why do you have over forty of them? 
I also agree completely with what Eagle_Kiwi said:
| Quote: | | whereas perhaps tournaments sneak under the radar a little, and may be easier to win. |
I know for a fact I forgot to play in a tournament two months ago I would have definitely won given there was little competition and the winning score was quite low!
Let us just compare the all-time best tournament player to possibly one of the best BOTM players. Twi$ter and starman. Now whom do you think more people would say is the better player?
There are also big obstacles preventing many players from participating in tournaments. There is the time limit as mentioned above by both Eagle_Kiwi and I and then there is the credits requirement. How many more players do you think would be playing tournaments if there was no credit requirement? |

Sorry but if it makes you feel better; KTWORLD stole a few tournaments this month from me. It looks like I won't be able to win any tournaments this month thanks partly to him. |

I haven't stolen anything from anybody...the tournments I've won I have been the leader for almost the whole duration of the tournment thank you very much  .....Twister however is the theif....two of his I was the leader for almost the whole time only to lose it at the end  ....i did not even have a chance to make a rebuttal because the tournment timer was wrong, which was bs |

Thanks neeraffa!
KTWORLD time is an important part of the strategy for winning a tournament. What a bad attitude, not worthy of this great site. If you have a problem report it.

I've learned that Twister and that is my whole point...my frustration is not with you per se but with that fact that after you jumped in there last hour or so and I did not have a CHANCE to try to come back because the timer said the wrong thing about 6 hrs beforehand (and I was responding to an incorrect attack from garyoak). Happily, the problem has been fixed now and the timers are running accurate so it is fair to everyone even 6 or 8 hrs away from the closing of the tournment  |

Are you sure about that? What about Gamma Bros? Were you really the leader of that one for almost the whole duration or just for the final hour? |

Congratulations (almost... probably?...) to BAFUSA, from Czech Republic - first full month on AB and currently lying 5th on BOTM table! Great work.
I hope he(she?) can manage just another couple of POSTS in the next few days, and be well into the prize money. (Oh, AND knock Eagle_Kiwi OUT of the cash, but, well, c'est la vie). |

Movers and shakers among the top bunch over the last 8 hours:
Neeraffa, Starman, Mel2win - have each gone up by 3 games.
GaryOak and xdonnax have each dropped by 2.
And *I* remain unchanged, way off the money, so will have to work real hard if I wanna smell any more greenbacks this time round. |
