Email for Floorman for WRGPT19
Since many people have asked, each year the floorman email address changes as SPAMmers catch up to it.
For WRGPT19 it is floorman19@wrgpt.org.
That is an alias to the real floorman addresses so don't be surprised when the reply comes from another address I won't publish here.

WRGPT19 Practice round is starting
The WRGPT19 practice round is starting. If all goes well it will continue for three weeks then stop for the real tourney.
This is a good time to try out those advance commands and figure out how the ID works, get your email into text only mode and generally figure it all out.
The rounds will only last 2 days rather than the 14 of the regular tourney so we have more action.
There is a chance the practice round will start and stop as problems are found and fixed on our new server. Hopefully everything will go well.
Good luck.

WRGPT19 Practice Round Start Delayed
I was planning on starting the practice round yesterday (Monday, October 19) but have decided to test a couple more days.
The practice round will likely start next Monday if not sooner.
Update on WRGPT19 status
The server is up and running for WRGPT19.
I am going through many tests to make sure everything is going fine and working.
I will send email to all the WRGPT18 entrants when we are ready for a live practice run.
It is likely that we will do TWO practice rounds this year. The first will be to shake out any issues with the server. The second will be to allow the users to make sure they know all the commands, etc. I hope to give you an option to sign up and opt out of one or both of the practice rounds if you do not want to participate.
If everyone goes well we will start WRGPT19 in late October.
WRGPT server status and WRGPT19 status
Players in WRGPT18 (and interested others),
The server that was host to WRGPT18 and many before has been retired.
I have obtained a new virtual private server that will be configured and used for WRGPT19.
I hope to have it configured by the end of August and have a trial run in September. If all goes well WRGPT19 should start in October or maybe sooner.
I will send the usual email invitation to all of the WRGPT18 entrants when registration is open.
WRGPT18 is over - James Scharf is the champion
Congratulations to James Scharf for winning WRGPT18.
He won on July 9 when his pocket jacks held up vs. J9 by bushman.
DDOS again
The WRGPT server is the victim of another DDOS attack. This one may
mean the end of WRGPT18 as the ISP is not just threatening but
promising to shut down my internet connection if the attack continues.
The tourney is on hold with seven players until such a time as this can be resolved.
If you are the person or persons orchestrating the DDOS attack you have given up a large number of your zombies for this trivial exercise. Please stop the attack and do not resume if/when the tourney continues.
