OK, we have a small issue.
These were the top 8 as of Monday afternoon:

Monday evening, we got a late input from
Ol 45
that has now created a tie for the 8th spot:

I asked
Ol 45
, who is a rare poster to the forum, if he plans on joining any of these GB's but have not heard back. I don't think we want the GB schedule to be influenced by anyone who has no intention of participating, and I clearly said that in post #1, so we are now left with the question of what to do with the 8th place tie between MTO and Turning Japanese. Here are 4 options:
1) Wait for
Ol 45
to confirm he will participate in the GBs and then have a tie break poll to establish the 8th position
2) Have a tie break now between MTO and Turning Japanese
3) Ignore the late input and go with the top 8 as at Monday afternoon
4) Expand the schedule to include the top 9 GB's. Note that if we elect to include the 9 GB's we're only doing so based on late input and the top 9 on Monday afternoon would have looked very different.
I was originally going to proceed by ignoring the late input but I think that it would be more appropriate to put the question to the members. So let's hear from you.
