I've been busy trying to coordinate a few things like Insidefoos and making a flier for the Major in April, but I figured this was important to get to also so here is my update! This week we did two events. One was an 1800 Limited, where you could partner up with any other player as long as the total points ended up being under 1800. The other event we did was Singles. Pretty much if you had more than 1000 points you were playing singles, we did 3/5 to get ready for Vegas HOFC and the upcoming Fireball tournament for that one, so the competition was really intense in both events I found. The turnout was pretty good on Tuesday. Counting the players that showed up just to play pickup games we had 33 players. In the main event we had 20 players - plus another 6 in Singles. Patrick Jones and Ray had a tough first round matchup against Ritchie and Dan - Pat and Ray switched a few times but found something that worked and pulled off the first game 5-4. Ritchie turned it on quickly (and shot REALLY well throughout the night) and pulled out the second game. Dan blocked really too, and they pulled off the win. Chad and Des also lost the first to Brian and Carlos, who have been really hot lately, but still managed to come back and win that one. Jamie and Carmen were dominating matches, Carmen was using my favorite pass throughout the night and Jamie picked it up a bunch of times. For someone who doesn't come out all that often Jamie has been really dominant when he does come out. A bunch of consistent passes and a roller that can beat anyone, thats what it takes to win, and Jamie sure has consistency and mental strength to keep fighting. When Chris and Mike played against Dan and Ritchie, Chris scored 4 consecutive pull side rollers at one time - forcing Ritchie and Dan into a 4-4 time out. Chris was timing the shot perfectly, waiting out baits, and hitting the shot when it was open(barely open). Dan was putting up a tough D, but Chris can put it in the hole really fast so it was even more impressive when he burried another one for the win. Darrel and Carlie also won the first two matches they played, and sure enough, we had two girls playing against each other to go to the King seat game in a 16 chart. Another first for our foosball scene! Chris and Mike had been playing great too, after beating Dan and Ritchie they came up against Des and Chad. Chad has a monster 2 bar, I had seen him bury about 5 goals up to this point already. Des and Chad beat Chris and Mike, Jamie and Carmen beat Des and Chad to take kingseat! Chris and Mike fought back through the losers bracket and double dipped in the final. Sorry I didn't get to see more of what was probably an incredible match! In singles Tobin and Ben went to a 5th game in a tough one, Tobin has been really solid lately if you have read my posts you know that... Tobin took it, shooting lights out in the final game - he put up a really strong zone against Ben which got him the possessions he needed. Garry beat Darcy I think 3-1, then Christian beat Garry. I played against Tobin and won 3 strait, but almost entirely off slop and 5 bar hacks. I am pretty sure I only got 3 or 4 goals from 3 bar shots in the match. Christian and I had a really back and forth kingseat match. Christian took the first two, then I fought back with two wins, and got up 3-1 in the 5th. Christian turned it around again and got a couple lucky ones followed by a slingshot from the 2 bar to win it. Darcy made his way through the B side with matches against Tobin and then Ben, Darcy took the first game off me but I fought back to win it. Christian steam rolled me in the final including a MONSTER 3 Bar Sling shot to win it. Honestly I kind of gave it to him because we had just been talking about it and I thought he would miss, but he didn't miss it... he crushed it. Christian wins singles, Chris and Mike win the 1800 Congrats all around! 1st $45 Chris and Mike 2nd $25 Jamie and Carmen 3rd $15 Des and Chad 1st $20 Christian 2nd $10 Will 3rd $0 Darcy Points Update: Dunn, Christian 1601 Edwards, Simon 1492 Stranks, Will 1462 McDonald, Tom 1190 Penner, Roger 1177 Burgardt, Garry 1162 Wilkins, Ben 1160 Scaife, Darcy 1118 Myszczyszyn, Tobin 1081 Luft, Carey 1014 Simeon, Jamie 979 Tse, Desmond 948 Johnston, Mike 931 Rupertus, Lindsey 918 Kerr, Chris 914 Humberstone, Paul 912 Kimber, Daniel 890 Schnieder, Jeff 887 Dick, Matt 882 Smithson, Justin 882 X, Jeff 881 Campbell, Lance 880 Gish, Brian 877 Kippen, Rick 874 La, Ed 873 Kwan, Conrad 871 So, Albert 870 Green, James 859 Jones, Darrel 858 Deeg, Phil 855 Schiebelbein, Karli 854 Hopfner, Jordan 854 Kelly, Brad 849 Wilkins, Sam 848 X, Darnel 841 Daly, Ritchie 841 Ustina, Greg 834 Perira, Carlos 831 Spencer, Chad 831 Campbell, Carmen 830 x, Ryan 825 Burrows, Cam 825 x, Garret 824 Taft, Spencer 824 Lehman, Blair 823 Volkman, Dallyn 822 Faulkner, Stephanii 822 Djakovic, Christoff 822 Wood, Greg 818 X, Gerald 811 Wong, Felix 811 Phillips, Mike 806 O''Stream, Don 806 M, Judah 804 C, Erek 803 Hasiuk, Jody 803 X, Jarrell 802 Gibson, katy 802 Hodinski, Jasmine 801 Bennett, Doug 801 Baayens, Dean 801 Nasir, Uzair 801 |
