The Goat Cup is essentially a means to determine which of us wizzes is
least rusty after having sat on out clouds and lounging in the
wizardly hot tub all year long. Everybody should make an effort to
come out, as I can say that in my mortal days (almost ten years ago) I
can still remember having fun, cheering on the wizzes I liked and
jeering the ones I didn't. (Jeering them silently, that is; I wouldn't
want a FOD, after all! <G>)

Mortals are given special commentary (usually by Confusion the wizard)
throughout the Goat Cup, so you'll get play-by-play, hit-by-hit
commentary as the action ensues.
