Has CCT died?

[jswaff]

I haven't paid attention in the last several years but it's usually this time of year. Last record of a CCT I could find was 2014. I found a thread in which Peter Skinner was gauging interest a year ago but it doesn't appear it happened. Is the tournament dead?

Do we even know whether Peter Skinner is still alive?

I haven't heard anything from him in a long time.

Searching through the forum a little more, it looks like he just left and no one picked it up. He did pop up for a bit early last year asking for interest in doing a CCT but I guess it never came together. That's really a pity.

I see the ACCA tournaments are still happening though... glad to see that.

Indeed. And we have a blitz tourney every month.

I was just chatting with Brian Richardson (Tinker) on ICC last night and he told me about your monthly tourney. Can you give me some details please?

Look for announcements like these:

Usually I post them 2 or 3 days in advance (i.e. Wednesday or Thursday).

Sounds like fun. I've been working on a rewrite of Prophet. The rewrite isn't quite finished yet but it'll be fun to play again.
