Random things going up now

All these thoughts of making a long post instead of lots of short posts have gone completely out the window. Short posts are now going up, too. I just need to figure out how to insert images easily and I'll be all set.

Tyler emailed me today wondering when the Mixed finals would be at the UPA Club Championships this year in October. The event is October 26-29, but, since he has to fly home early on Sunday, he might miss the Mixed finals on Sunday.

Well, here's what we figured out: the order of division play is consistent: the Women's division follows the Mixed division follows the Open division follows the Women's division. Last year, Open played first, followed by Mixed then Women's. The year before, Women's played first, followed by Open, then Mixed.

Therefore, this year, if everything follows as before, Mixed will play first, followed by Women's, then Open.

Now, the weather has been every other year is a brutal wind year. This past year was a just-after-hurricane event. So, if everything follows trends (yeah, yeah, past performance is no guarantee of future returns), this'll be a non-windy year.

Now, that Tyler is thinking about the finals at this point in the season is absolutely fantastic. However, because he's heading home mid-afternoon on Sunday, well, he's cut.
