First bonspiel for the year
Oct. 31st, 2008 10:19 pmIn our clubs first annual (?) fall bonspiel, our team (RG, me, MH, and WS) took the third event. And we beat a bunch of folks in wheelchairs to do it, including one guy who'd only had about two hours of training. Go us! Some folks in the next sheet over were making jokes that we were violating the ADA, as we almost skunked them. Happily they took the last round. Seriously, they must have played better in the other games to get that far (three other wins, one loss). Our game the day before at 8am wasn't anything to write home about either. Generally a successful tournament, next year I'm expecting more outside teams to play (and maybe we'll have more subs. I know I caught my laryngitis from someone playing and serving food who should have been home in bed.) And hooray, I won the award for the most words made out of a phrase. I would have been upset if someone else had won that! They'll know better than to run that kind of contest around me again. For the record, I had ~350 words from a phrase of seventeen letters, including etaonrsh.
