Last night we did an Open DYP. For the most part it was a really good tournament... Sam and Christian won the tournament, in impressive fashion. Christian really added a whole new level last night I think. It was a 5 bar demolition against Ben and I in the final, and he shot really well too. Sam also played great, nothing came out to the 3 off the back wall, and every time it was a good shot, pass, or clear. Also I want to congratulate Ben, who was my partner last night. I think that is the best you have ever played and the games against Tom/Paul and Simon/Chris were excellent. The results: 1st $45 Christian and Sam 2nd $30 Ben and Will 3rd $20 Garry and Mike Points Update: Dunn, Christian 1311 Burgardt, Garry 1210 Penner, Roger 1169 Edwards, Simon 1114 Stranks, Will 1108 Lawrence, Shane 1035 McDonald, Tom 1003 Demelo, Ivor 997 Dick, Matt 968 Rupertus, Lindsey 966 s, Albert 963 Campbell, Lance 957 Smithson, Justin 954 Kippen, Rick 953 Kelly, Brad 943 Deeg, Phil 929 Jamerson, Rick 926 Wilkins, Ben 911 Jordan, Darren 909 Macdonald, Jon 899 Faulkner, Stephanii 898 Moir, Zak 896 x, Mike 895 X, Darnel 892 C, Erek 889 King, Ryan 887 Wood, Greg 882 X, Uzair 881 Siltannin, Jenna 880 Crawford, Adam 880 Bennett, Doug 877 Haynes, Tyler 876 Haynes, Travis 876 Cabay, Codie 876 Daly, Ritchie 874 Baayens, Dean 874 spencer, jay 872 Chornohos, Curtis 872 Volkman, Alanna 869 Hodinski, Jasmine 869 Cooke, Drew 868 Park, Gordon 868 Dubray, Liz 868 Mayoski, Trevor 867 Potts, Nigel 867 Mcvay, Alex 867 Gauthier, Jed 867 x, Jason 867 Castillo, Jonathan 856 Myszczyszyn, Tobin 856 Nguyen, Dan 854 x, Jamie 852 Johnston, Mike 851 Hewson, Craig 849 X, Rocky 838 Gibson, katy 838 Humberstone, Paul 834 Spencer, Chad 821 Volkman, Dallyn 816 Tse, Desmond 808 H, Jody 803 Kerr, Chris 802 Fester, David 801 Jackson, Dan 795 Lehman, Blair 778 Wilkins, Sam 746 Campbell, Carmen731 |

This was the first final that we have ever had that the age totals(the 4 player ages added up) doesn't break 100. 24+24+24+22 If someone had said that we would have a final with people that age in it about a year ago we would have wondered who was here from out of town. |
| ||
|
In other words, it was the first final Garry hasn't been in??? Somebody had to take that one. |

|
Ouch!!! I'm taking that a shot at my age- not a statement of fact that I've been in alot/most finals. Thanks Nathan |

I see the payouts were more evenly distributed this week. Here is what you have payed out in the last 4 weeks. Not very consistant. Jun-30 1st 48% Jun-30 2nd 33% Jun-30 3rd 19% Jul-07 1st 57% Jul-07 2nd 29% Jul-07 3rd 14% Jul-14 1st 42% Jul-14 2nd 37% Jul-14 3rd 21% Jul-21 1st 47% Jul-21 2nd 32% Jul-21 3rd 21% I suggest you use the following 1st 50% 2nd 30% 3rd 20% |

We write down what the payouts are going to be before the tournament every week. I do agree that the week you won the payouts were not proportionate... If I had written those payouts out I probably would have done it differently. That said I do put a lot of trust in Garry to help run our tournaments and he wrote those ones out. Pretty much every decision Garry has ever made has turned out well and he has been very fair and reliable to this point. I will give you 10 bucks next tournament if you don't complain about it anymore   Really it has only been one week that the payouts were not fair.It might be a good idea to standardize the payouts a bit. I'll talk to chad and we'll come up with something. |

Garry has been in 51% of the finals... Thats pretty good. I now plan on taking my finals average up from 36% to above 50. |
| ||
|
July 7th wasn't fair either. I would rather you keep the ten bucks so I can point out the descrepancies.  |
| ||

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQiJdf-ebIs The actual payouts should have been...using Simon's suggestions. 1st $57.50 2nd $34.50 3rd $23.00 vs what they were 1st $50 2nd $45 3rd $23 Hey- my team was shorted $3.00- $1.50 of which was mine. My suggestion- Christian should say "thank you" and invest his overpayment.  |
| ||
|
vs what they were 1st $50 2nd $45 3rd $23- this should have been $20 I can't type and do math at the same time...getting too old-right Nathan) lol |

"I would rather you keep the ten bucks so I can point out the descrepancies" I was worried you would say that  I appreciate when you have candid complaints that you bring personally to me and I would feel better about addressing them that way than publicly. I like that tuesday night foosball has a very positive attitude surrounding it and it is a goal of ours(not mine and chads specifically, but the entire group of the edmonton foosball association) to keep it positive. I think that your suggestion is a good one though and I'll update you and everyone via the message board and verbally on tuesday based on what we decide. |

"Garry has been in 51% of the finals... Thats pretty good. I now plan on taking my finals average up from 36% to above 50. " Not to sound cocky, arrogant, or at all like an ego-maniac...... nevermind lol Some other 'interesting' and much more impressive data would include Christian having a 9-2 thats right 9-2 record against Will. Being tournament director I understand there are mitigating circumstances for having such a poor record..............9-2 Christian has appeared in 55% of the finals. Christian also has the highest win % of any regular player at 73%. Christian has placed top 3 in 75% of the tournaments. The most impressive stat would also included a whopping FIFTY thats FIVE-OH 50% tournament win rate. By the way, Christian will update these numbers on a weekly basis so all his fans can track his excellent progress. Christian will also be referring to himself in the third person from now on to properly distance himself in order to express how truly great Christian is. |

FOOOOOSSSSSBBBBBALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| ||
|
Let's see if we could knock that down to 70% tonight.lol  |
| ||
|
Since we're bringing up stats - Garry would like to as well. Garry was tied at one point with Roger 7-7- Garry now leads 12-7... hmmmmm??? Garry's reaction to slopmaster seems to have worked! Garry also leads with top 3 % at an amazing 78%- WOW Garry also is the only one who knows the rules-awesome job!!!! |
| ||
|
This is awesome. I hope everyone does more trashtalking this week. I'm not going to update Christians stats because "Christian will update these numbers on a weekly basis so all his fans can track his excellent progress" Lets just say it was fun nicknaming him "49" this week. |

Hi Fans, Unfortunately, I don't have internet access at the moment so I am unable to update my impressive stats. Take my word for it that this past week went well and after the next tourny (which I will win according to the aforementioned 1/2 win rate) my stats will be nearing a godlike level. P.S. Don't ask how I can post without having internet  |

"Garry also leads with top 3 % at an amazing 78%- WOW" July 21 Burgardt, Garry 1210 July 28 Burgardt, Garry 1163   |

"Garry also leads with top 3 % at an amazing 78%- WOW" July 21 Burgardt, Garry 1210 July 28 Burgardt, Garry 1163 Going 2 and out doesn't help much. Had you shown up and we played at least I would have won a match. |

"Take my word for it that this past week went well" lol- I believe you went 3 and out, which is better than me but marginally. "after the next tourny (which I will win according to the aforementioned 1/2 win rate)" I predict that this is going to be true! Just want to make sure your fans... I mean your Mom doesn't get any bad information!!!!  |

fan(s) If your 3 bar is as bad as the last time we played then no one has much to worry about... Chistian says "hey will what can I do to make my pull shot better?" Will replies "hit the net" The funny thing about that is that you shouldn't be forced to shoot a pull. |
| ||
|
"If your 3 bar is as bad as the last time we played then no one has much to worry about..." Don't worry about his 3 bar- I heard he is playing D this week! "hit the net"...too funny, basics like this do escape rookies like Christian( sorry I have to pick on you but I'm not "allowed" to pick on Rupertus any more!) |
