Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury,

Allow this letter to serve as a formal nomination of Richard “The Reverend” for the Season 6 Jim Siemens Award of Excellence. “The Reverend” is a truly excellent dude. Some say he breathes excellence like a fish breathes water, and that one of his legs grows slightly longer when he sees an ice cold can of brisk, refreshing Coors Light (The official non sponsor beverage of the ‘Sport of Kings’).

Introducing the Tapey Beercone Kumite

Tapey Beercone comes in many forms. In the standard version of play, the game revolves around two somewhat evenly composed teams. Then there are variants, such as the three player version known as Icelandic Rules, or the four team round robin format used for the Tapey Beercone Open. In all these versions of play, the players are organized into teams. But what if there was a completely different way to play? A variant to the rules that set each player apart? and pit them all again each other in an dynamic battle royale gauntlet? Enter: The Tapey Beercone Kumite!

From the Annals: Musing on Award Recipients from the Early Seasons

Recently, the Commissioner’s Office of Tapey Beercone has Announced New Procedures for conferring Awards for the soon to be concluded Season 5.
