Heh. Once again, my name has spoofed another person. I introduced myself to Joe Seidler, who stopped by to talk to Shiella. We chatted a bit, and he admitted that he thought I was a guy until someone told him, "She". Heh. We chuckled.

First round over, and it was exciting!

Many close games (DoG vs GOAT ended 16-15 well over the time cap), and a couple upsets (Pike beat the number one seed Sockeye 15-12), and many, many games holding seed. Some games were blow outs, soe appeared to be close the whole way. I managed to watch only the first few points of a couple interesting games, dashing back to the nest to enter half time scores.

A few notes of interest:

  • The quickest game was Riot vs Nemesis (15-3), over at 10:42
  • The quickest injury was in the B+ vs Chad Larson (17-16) game. The UPA's lawyer had a "I can't look at this injury it's so gross" broken ankle injury on the fourth point of the game. He ended up leaving the tournament in an ambulance.
  • SubZero took half 8-4 on Johnny Bravo, but still lost to Bravo 15-12, for the biggest come-back of the first round.
  • The last game to end was the DoG vs GOAT game, ending at 11:54, with DoG winning 16-15
  • White shorts are big this year, with at least five Open teams wearing white or whitish shorts
  • Most common scores were 15-{3-5} in womens games, 15-{8-10} in mixed games, 15-12 in open games and 15-{5-6} in masters games.

Good lord, stop the harmonica!

Good lord, stop the fucking harmonica.

Some random guy is up in the crow's nest playing the harmonica while we're trying to get the games going. Elizabeth turns to the guy and says, "I love it, but please stop it."

Yeah, Elizabeth!

Next time, I'm going to kick the guy out. No badge, no crow's nest. Out! Out!

Update. Oops. The guy with the harmonica was the anthem player. He was up here to start the tournament. I truly need to be more compassionate and understanding. Sigh.

First glitch of the day

Blog

When the tournaments were created, they were saved with the scores locked. The feature is to prevent people from editing scores before/after the tournament. Having not actually used score reporter before, I didn't know how to unlock the tournament so that I could enter scores. Michael didn't recall the process either. Whoops.

Fortunately the documentation did have instructions, and we're finally good to go. Now we need some scores.
