We had a fair showing for this month’s tournament, kicking off the regular 2026 series. 11 players came out to compete on a cold but sunny afternoon, plus one guy there for moral support and a reuben. Lucky Lab was closing at 5 for a staff party, so we were under some pressure to get done; but things normally wrap up by 4 or 4:30, so I was not too worried about that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the “A” bracket, round 1 had Cam over Larry, me over Mark A, and Jeremy C over Tim. Cam got the second round bye, while Jeremy crushed me 0-5. Cam then won the bracket. In the consolation, since it was such a small bracket, I set it up to just run everyone through, including Jeremy, as he’d only lost 1 and it’s double elimination. And in the consolation final, I faced Jeremy again, this time crushing him 5-0. I noted that must mean we’re pretty evenly matched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the “B” bracket, round 1 had Matt H over Jim B, Ed over Bodger, and Kyle got the 1st round bye. Matt went on to win the bracket, and Ed the consolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had texts and calls from more than one person who was unsure whether the tournament was when it was, a reflection of some continuing problems with meetup’s interface and notifications. I’m upgrading the group’s technology to include an official Google Calendar<\/a> – click on THIS LINK<\/a> and it should subscribe you to the calendar, and you will always be able to see upcoming (and for that matter, past) events. Hopefully that’s helpful for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n See you at the next one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Mark<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We had a fair showing for this month’s tournament, kicking off the regular 2026 series. 11 players came out to compete on a cold but sunny afternoon, plus one guy there for moral support and a reuben.
