Would it be an idea to give the remaining 2 players of the championship each an additional life in order to increase the acceptability of the outcome?

Not sure how much of a difference it would make in more accurately selecting the best player. Can you run some simulations to find out?

Does anyone have the URL for selecting preferred game times for the upcoming World Championship? I used to have the link but can't find it. Thanks!

Here is the link to set your default preferred game times:
http://arimaa.com/arimaa/gameroom/selectTimes.cgi
When I create the 2011 WC event using the tournament tool, it will copy over these times and you will be emailed the URL (different than the above) to update your preferred times for the 2011 WC event.

Yes, there were 26 registered players for the 2008 WC.
Only a few extra players needed to break this record. After 2 year with a declining number of participants it is indeed nice to have again more players entering the WC.
There are already as many nations represented as ever: 10, the same as in 2007, vs. 9 in 2008 and 2009.

I think the field of players in the WC this year is much stronger than we've ever had before. I'm looking forward to many hard fought, high quality games this year.

I am almost positive Omar would not mind anyone sending him a check directly. He is extremely flexible or at least was so in my case because I do not use pay pal at all.

Isn't it much easier to use a debit/credit card to make the payment? I think that's what I did and it was pretty easy. But maybe not everyone uses cards...

Seems I would be able to pair my credit card with pay-pal at last. ...
