While on my lunch break today, I found a Web site that contained a written history of the Tournament of Champions. The Tournament of Champions, or TOC as it was better known, was designed to develop the poker skills of our group of friends and find out who the best player was. It certainly helped with our game, but I don't think we ever conceded that it determined the true "Great One."
The site can be found at http://www.associatepublisher.com/e/t/to/tournament_of_champions.htm. I have a feeling I wrote the article at one time, but I don't remember where I posted it to where it would show up at this site.

New Pixar Movie, New Rankings
Every time a new Pixar movie is released I rank the films in order of my preference. This doesn't necessarily mean that I believe my ranking is superior to anyone else's and it certainly doesn't list the movies in order of their greatness. It is simply a list of my most to least favorite of Pixar's work. While the movie that comes in at number one is not necessarily their best effort or story, it does entertain me the most and therefore gets the top spot.
And on to the list, which I have included next to each movie the IMDb ranking I have assigned to each movie.
1. The Incredibles - 10
2. Toy Story - 10
3. Finding Nemo - 10
4. Up - 10
5. WALL-E - 9
6. Toy Story 3 - 9
7. Ratatouille - 8
8. Monsters, Inc. - 8
9. Toy Story 2 - 8
10. A Bug's Life - 8
11. Cars - 7
