BATTLE OF LEAGUES Congrats to AIM They took first play this month. Hats off to MAG7 myca3, _love_Dusty2046 Scarlett243 and (me) lil_gizmoe. We took second place this month. We battled hard and we will be back on top, November will be another battle for sure. These battles are 5 points all rounds and some of them go down to just 1 checker, so they can be brutal. Battle of the Leagues is set for November 29th at 3 pm est in the battle of the leagues lobby, please if you are on the team or another team pls be there by 245 Pm est so we can get all registered and start on time.
TOC is always the qualifying tourney for BOL and is done the week before. Will be November 22 there will be two TOC tournerys so we can offer our members from around the world a chance to play for the Rank and status. If for any reason they all cannot play in BOL admin will find a replacement. TOC times are as follows: Daytime TOC will be at 11 AM EST hosted by lil_gizmoe on November 22nd. Nighttime TOC will be at 9 PM hosted by jan0527 also on November 22nd. You are only allowed to play in one TOC, so if you played in the daytime TOC then you will not be allowed to play again in the nighttime TOC. We will then take the winner from each and use each members skill rating to determine who is ranked 1 and 2, and then we will do the same for the runners up to determine who is ranked 3 and 4. We will also use the semifinals to determine ranks 5 through 8, by using the skill ratings. Please read the rules on the TOC pages because they will be more detailed there. Our league is growing with more competitive players so this is a way for all of use to climb the ladder to the top!!!! Congrats to mleibowitz for winning the Daytime TOC in August. Congrats to Dusty2046 for winning the night time TOC in August. Rankings after both TOC's were combined. #1 samannat3 daytime winner skill rating 1707 #2 myca3 nighttime winner skill rating 1637 #3 SuzyJazz daytime runner up skill rating 1634 #4 magicalauss nighttime runner up skill rating 1549 #5 kuechenfee skill rating 1761 #6 TM7gammon skill rating 1660 #7_love_ skill rating 1640 #8 SouthLass skill rating 1475

Oven Roasted Salmon Ingredients 2 lemons, thinly sliced 1 large skin-on salmon fillet (about 3 lb.) Kosher salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted 2 Tbsp. honey 1 tsp. dried oregano 1 tsp. dried Dill 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh thyme Finely chopped fresh parsley, for serving Directions Step 1 Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil, then line foil with parchment to prevent any interaction of lemon slices with foil. In center of parchment, arrange lemon slices in an even layer. Step 2 Season salmon with salt and pepper and arrange on top of lemon slices. Step 3 In a small bowl, whisk garlic, butter, honey, oregano, dill, and thyme. Pour over salmon, add 1 oz. of white wine, then fold up parchment and foil around salmon to seal. Step 4 Bake salmon until opaque, cooked through, and flesh easily flakes with a fork, about 20 minutes. Step 5 Turn on broiler. Open parchment paper. Broil salmon, watching closely, until browned in spots, 4 to 6 minutes. Step 6 Transfer lemons and salmon to a platter. Top with parsley.

Final thoughts from lil_gizmoe (me)
Now to sum up my thoughts on things. With the holiday season upon us, lets take time to be thankful for all the fun we have shared here. I go into my day wanting to make each of you smile laugh and have fun in my tourneys as all our hosts do. We do not get paid for hosting we do it because we love it and giving back to the game we love to play makes it worth it. We need to be respectful of others when playing our matches, and understand we are all individuals not bots playing bots. We come here to unwind, not be wound up. ; ) We have great players and beginners also so we have to remember sometimes people are just learning and may not know how to play or remember there are those of us who have played for years like me who play relatively fast, so be respectful of each other during this Holiday season and remember we love each of you and this is like our online family so hugs someone today!!!!!!!
