Sergey Tihon's Blog 
Dropped my interface to challonge in f# (im by far no f# expert so it might be somewhat mangled f#-wise…), and use of it as a TourneyBot (creating and administering tournaments) for backgammon at the server http://www.tigergammon.com, at github: http://github.com/zbilbo/.
Its using agents/mailboxprocessors in a kind of reactive pattern. Its a work in progress but thought you/others might like it.
