PAX BRITANNICA PBEM LADDER

November 1998



The Pax Britannica Pbem Ladder was started by Jeff Janoska in 1994, and updated by him untill August 1997. From September 1997 it has been updated by Rune Aaboen. Points are awarded after a 9/6/4/3/2/1/0 system. Players must have finished at least 2 games to be included on the main list.

The recent update was done after the end of the 96A, Acklam, and Yunnan games. In addition, the results from the Pbj-7 has finally been included. The total number of games on the table is now 27.
