Actually, I had a pretty good time, much better than I was
expecting. We only had nine people show
up, two of whom were subs. Par for the
course, right? Since we were in last
place, started out playing the second place team (there were seven total teams
so the first place team wasn’t involved in the first round). We actually came very close to winning that
game after going on a five point run to take the lead 9-5. Unfortunately, we wound up losing 11-13.
That sent us to the second game in the consolation
brackets. And we actually won that
second game! The final score was 13-7 or
something like that. It felt so good. This means we also finished above seventh
place, so better than we did going into the tournament. Not too hard when you are in last.
This also meant we got a third game, and by that point the
heat and lack of subs got the better of us.
We lost that game something like 5-13.
The tournament this year was in Corona, something like an
hour and a half from me. Other than
having to wake up horribly early to get there on time, it wasn’t too bad. It certainly helped that the tournament was
pushed back an hour so I didn’t have to leave town until 7 instead of 6. Yikes!
It also helped that I carpooled with some friends who were playing on
other teams. It made the drive go much
more quickly. Surprisingly, traffic was
bad either direction.
