We had a fair showing for this month’s event – 13 players came out for the afternoon. Lucky Lab was extremely crowded, with a MTG tournament going on. But we squeezed in to the tables that were available and had a good time.
In the “A” bracket, round 1 had Larry over Nathan, Bodger over Joel, Kyle over Howard, and me over the bye. Honestly, I abused my director’s position to take the bye, so that I could eat my lunch – the table I was at barely held the board so I would have been holding my sandwich in my lap otherwise. But I then paid for it by losing my two matches in blowouts. In the final, Larry came out on top over Kyle, and Nathan took the consolation bracket over Bodger.
In the “B” bracket, we only had 6 players, and so it finished fairly quickly. Round 1 had Stan over newcomer Stephen, Tim over Mark A, and newcomer Jim B over Julie. Jim went on to win the bracket over Tim, and Stan (who claims to have never previously won a match) taking the consolation bracket over Stephen.
All in all, a good day. There was a lot of discussion about the upcoming BMAB event, which is just around the corner now. If you are registered for it, you should get an email from me in a week or so with logistical information. If you’re not… well, time is definitely running out!
