I've added your name to the list; games will be allocated (and sent by PM) once enough competitors have been recruited

count me in - sure looks like you're putting in a lot of work! don't know how to post to thread - embarrrassed - please let me know what to do next

No worries - writing that post was enough to get added to the list
All you need to do now is wait for all the other spaces to fill up, and then join the games you are allocated.

And that brings the total number of competitors to 7 so far...
