I don't know if i'm horribly out of touch with the UK scene but the only names i recognised were Raymer and Sinclair. Unfortunately i won't be playing but it sounds fun. Doesn't anyone have finals???

TBH, that was just a cut and paste from a press release I got.
Raymer is giving a talk on the Saturday. It's in the University Science Museum. and it's on....










Fossils!

I may go, as the first 60 peeps get to play in a freeroll


only joking, it's on how he won the title and its first prize of $5,000,000 last year
