We had a nice turnout for today’s Tour of Patios – 15 players came out – although Leah technically arrived too late to play in a tournament, she got into some good chouette action. Congratulations to Joel, Bodger, Larry, Jim, and Pete for winning a bracket each.
Andres decided that bringing just his kids wasn’t enough, and brought his parents as well this time. His mom kicked my butt, winning 5-0 in our match! They are truly a backgammon family to watch out for…
Newcomer Chris did respectably, making it to the final of his bracket, and staying to observe the chouette action afterwards. And he bought one of the t-shirts. Did you know we still have t-shirts available? It’s true, but the stock is beginning to dwindle. Funds from the t-shirt sales go to support the group’s meetup charges and the blog hosting fees, so ask me for one if you don’t already have one…
We have one more Tour event coming up in a couple of weeks, then next month we return to the fall version of our regular tournament series. I got the third championship qualifier onto the calendar as well – the fourth will likely be in November, with the championship ideally in December. So sign up for those!
