Hi all,

I know that a lot of you folks had scrimmages today (UTC has one I know for sure and I have heard rumors of the Ford teams getting together in Dearborn).

Do tell all.

As for Chief Delphi, we had some really good runs today, though I have to admit nothing like I hear from Mr. Betts & the UTC-Int'l Fuel Cell team.

It is mid-Winter break at Pontiac Central next week so we are basically going to be driving round the clock until ship time.

Mike Martus promises me some jpeg files of CD5 to upload any minute now. Assuming nothing comes up (e.g. down servers) expect something later tonight or tomorrow.

I still don't know how this game is going to be played, but I hope that it makes for some interesting matches & tourneys.

P.S. I have heard of at least one perennial powerhouse that is basically using the 'Defend the Puck' strategy that seemed to go over big in 1999. Is this a case of the generals trying to fight the last war or are they on to something? I can tell you that is NOT the strategy chosen by the Chief Delphi team, thought I will say that should it come to that, CD5 will likely give as good as it gets ;-)

Rumors... ...spread 'em if you got 'em!
