Well, upon consideration I might be too busy "hosting" the ugly stepchild version of dee-nee to really have the commitment to the COTUT.  Perhaps if it's in the dee-nee house...

IF I make it to Chicago I'd obviously participate in any said tourney.

For this one:
2)  Keep moving to the base.  Some folks (especially newbies) tend to stay at the base, especially after a rainbow throw.

I'm a bit confused.  Does this apply to the runner or the fielder?  Gotta be the fielder, right?  The important thing is to always close the gap on the runner and preferably keep that gap closer to the base the runner started on.

I just wiped my ass then smelled the toilet paper.  What's wrong with me?

I don't want to hear this IF shit, you are going to be in Chicago.  Don't be one of those sallypants "I'm afraid to fly" pussies...

Yeah the fielder.  Lots of newbies forget to keep moving the runners, especially if the runner has gained a step on them.  They tend to stay on the base and constantly do the immediate quick throw to the other fielder.  Said technique is predictable and easy to time for the baserunner, giving them the advantage...

As soon as a baserunner knows when you are going to throw, they have the advantage.  Assuming of course they haven't gained much of a gap on you...

I constantly get myself into run downs. One thing that Octo mastered, and Stock touched on, is getting another fielder into the middle of the run down. If you can do this, and have mastered the quick throw, you should be getting outs 100% of the time. The key for the runner is to get to a base before the third fielder becomes involved (generally within three throws).

The button fake is also brutal.

OK folks, the initial rundown page is up.  Let me know how it looks, what needs to be added/removed etc.  Even a simple post like "looks good" will suffice

Well done, not much more to add I don't think.  Perhaps a screen shot?
