Sisters Prevail in Ugly Win (Houston, 2/19/25)

A couple of days ago I wrote that this struggling Houston squad was undermanned and had difficulties shooting from deep. After watching a game that was ugly in so many ways I can say that the playe…

Card Tourney Setup

keepngoal
Needing help in administrating a card tourney. Wherein a spreadsheet (or something else) accepts X number of players to play Y number of games, matchups chosen randomly, and each game is never against the same person.

Let's say there are 16 players, and each player needs to play 5 games. And a random game schedule is created from those inputs.

Maybe the math doesn't work with odd number of games played?

anyone have a solution or idea to achieve this? TIA.

On That Note: Wet Dry World

MeanDean
I'm your host this week as the rotation has come around again.

Thinking about how the drought is affecting so many parts of the country (except for the parts with flooding) I decided on a theme of "Dry" and "Wet." Will also accept Parched, Moist/Moisture and Soak. And also Flood and Drought.

Thank you for NOT posting weather specific terms - as we did that theme previously.

Besides me, your weekly hosts for this series are @cyclones500 and @CycloneRulzzz.

Last week's OTN was Motivation. It can be found here: https://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/threads/on-that-note-motivation.291190/

80 Years Ago Today in the far Pacific

The Battle of Iwo Jima:

Battle of Iwo Jima

In 1945, US forces bounded forward in the Central Pacific as combat reached ever bloodier crescendos.
www.nationalww2museum.org www.nationalww2museum.org

Iwo Jima statistics

Iwo Jima was the bloodiest battle in the history of the United States Marine Corps. It was also one of the bloodiest battles of World War II.

Casualties:
  • The battle resulted in 24,053 casualties, including 6,140 deaths.
  • This was the highest number of single-action losses in Marine Corps history.
  • Roughly one Marine or corpsman became a casualty for every three who landed on Iwo Jima.

Medals of Honor:
  • 27 Marines and sailors were awarded the Medal of Honor for action on Iwo Jima, more than any other battle in U.S. history.

Battle details:
  • The battle took place from February 19 to March 16, 1945.
  • The U.S. mounted an amphibious invasion of the island of Iwo Jima as part of its Pacific campaign against Japan.
  • The island was finally declared secured on March 26, 1945.

Significance:
  • Securing Iwo Jima prepared the way two months later for the invasion of Okinawa, the last and largest battle in the Pacific.

'Manila' John Basilone, USMC, MOH, was killed on this first day. Jon Seda scene playing Basilone in the Spielberg-Hanks production of The Pacific:

On Guadalcanal, Basilone killed 38 Japanese soldiers around his position and dozens of others in adjoining areas, as the Fat Electrician relates here. Basilone's other exploits on the 'Canal, too, are the stuff of legend born of truth. (This podcast is bio. until about the 18 minute mark when it hits WWII.) For boxing fans, the Gunny was 19-0, all knockouts, and considered the top boxer in the U.S. military.

OJ Simpson Doc on Netflix

D
Anyone watch this yet? Pretty well done. I was in boot camp when the Bronco chase was going down. I got out of boot camp and everyone started filling me in on OJ like a month and a half after it all happened. I remember thinking they were joking. Talk about the guiltiest guy on the planet. How him and Casey Anthony that killed her baby down in florida got off of murder is crazy. OJ they basically had every single piece of evidence you would need in another murder trial. Just crazy.
