I agree with Pickles that playing team 1 vs 4, and 2 vs 3 is not fair at all for KI and RI supporters. Specially in light of this year's tournament, where the top 2 teams are like miles better in group stages. Last year it was fairer - 1 vs 2 for final and 3 vs 4 for 3rd place. That said, TNT had already announced this from the start, so I cannot complain.
Today we got Shenkuu, but I did not play at all, and do not plan to. Instead I am looking forward to tomorrow's RI game against my brother. Also I am pretty sure KI will still get a shot at the cup, so I will take it really easy till the semis, YYB surely taxes your fingers very much. In the meantime, I am thinking to try to become one of the top 5 players in one of the games. Last year, the YYB top player played over 6,000 games I remember. Though I have around 2,000 games now, I do not think I can reach that level. Also I become asleep after playing a few games of SS, so I am thinking of trying for MSN.
I have played around 2,200 MSN games. Does anybody know what was the number of MSN plays last year to reach top 5? BTW, in MSN, there seems to be a daily limit of 2000 games after which it does not count. So, if the number of plays to reach top 5 is around 12,000, I doubt I would try for it.
I found the SS numbers in last year's AC thread:

Something odd I noticed looking at the top three of slushie slinger. mummy1958 (#1) won 199 games of yooyu ball and played 3,598 games of slushie slinger and 615 of MSN. win159372 (#2) won 503 games of yooyu ball and played 3,410 games of slushie slinger and 624 games of MSN.
Also I noticed something I said last year

Next time I will join Roo and hope to play 1,000 YYB games (around 300 more than what I contributed to Shenkuu this year).
