Imagine the AA participants walking to the tournament hall on that gorgeous red carpet… All of them wearing uniforms of the country they play…general staff and adjutants of course!
@ Gargantua - Some efficient blogging on this forum then! I wonder who has the MOST time logged in? Is it Commander Jennifer? Not sure how to check that against everyone else. You have a sufficiently lower number of posts than her.
I recalled the Word Wars Documentary about the Scrabble tournament circuit.
It was heavily loaded up w production editing to make it viewable to the non-Scrabble audience. Our supercomputers are not yet powerful enough to do that type of Live/instant replay editing as seen on so many sports broadcasts.
Even when all that editing becomes possible, I would be curious which advertisers would back an A&A tournament broadcast.
After reading the article i wondered how any USies ever have traveled abroad or even overseas.
All those that were in France seemed to have seen something else than expected. Who or what might have made them expect the “wrong” thing?
How many will keep their prejudices as they do not/ can not/ can’t afford to travel?
