Yes, there are boardies in your rundle and some of them have also appeared on J!

My first time in LL, Horizon R2 (VachaspatiP)! And, I suppose, my only LL before my J! appearance.

A-Mag looks almost homely with all the familiar names. Or at least it will until I get beaten. Best of luck all boardies!

Lesse, in A Continental we have the usual cast of characters: bomtr, Randy G, slam, Kirk, ElemdilPickle and yours truly. Superstar Ronin Lampy has apparently moved on to greener pastures (the rather in aptly named A Tundra), freeing a little space up at the top of our Rundle.

I'd just like to mention to all of the rookies that they are eligible to play the 1DS tournaments this weekend and have their scores count. I'm wondering how PauA will do on Just Images: Musical Notation. The questions will be up until 9AM Pacific/noon Eastern on Monday.

Pretty solid crew in there.
You can say that again! I'm joining you in that rundle and many of the names look familiar from Jeopardy! It will be nice to have my first LL experience start during the summer when I have more time to obsess over the defensive positions and strain my brain to answer the questions.

Good luck to you!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Nikhil Desai finishes in one of the positions to get promoted to a B rundle. On the other hand, none of the other names look familiar and there may be some unknown good players.

I'm in R Continental also (WarwickB on LL) and based on what I've seen in this thread I've been tossed in with rookies in name only!

In Rundle A Horizon, the Rundle Champion qualifies for the live annual LL Rundle Championship, in Las Vegas in August.
Yeah, well good luck with that! Last rundle in '68 I was leading for a surprising run based on lucky wheelhouses, a forfeit and improbably good defense, which all failed in the last five days... :(

I don't know anyone's name or flag so no idea who's in it with me. Good luck to us all! :)
Curious, I looked at your rundle. I've met 8 in person and throw in real time online trivia interactions it goes to at least a dozen. The gamut goes from S1 J! champ to J! TOC champ to millions won with Regis to beating the Beast with a FJ! round heartbreak and KJL in there as well.
Wowie-zowie... so I can look fwd to moving to B Rundle after this eh?! LOL will be great fun at least!

The fight to avoid relegation is always intense. Who are you in A-Hor goatman? You should be able to figure out who I am.

A Central here.

There are some names I recognize from Jeopardy!, but I am not sure whether I see any boardies there.

I know seaborgium and JyV92 have been in A Central in the recent past. (They're currently in B, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see myself back down in B in the near future.)

There are at least 7 with J! experience and you can put their last name into the Archive to get their handle here. The boardies in your rundle have varying levels of participation here. There's also a boardie who won big on another game show in your rundle.

It looks like you get to play against my two referrals who aren't RawalA, while I have to play against your referral.
