Event Standings as of 9/13/2008 and Next Event Date

Hello all! We had a great event last week. 23 people out to play! WOW!
A bunch of highlights to mention:

• Calvin L took down the dog tag with some nasty sick play. He personally knocked out 10 people!
• The rebuy continues to pay off Anthony K takes second place after re-buying
• Q. shakes off his "best player not to cash" title....while Rob F...well, not so much...alongside Rob, taking Q.'s place, is Mel Kipe...Ken For...I mean Russ H.
• First timer Brett S. cashes and knocks out 4 of the people from his team
• Worst beat taken at all the events thus far: Aaron J. gets knocked out with a full house against Quad Aces, followed closely by a set of kings beat by a straight beat by a flush...

Thanks to Rey and Melinda for hosting! Please remember to throw $5 in the kitty for food/drinks every time.

Our next event is October 24th at 8:30 - Please be on-time as we will start playing at 8:30.

Next Event is 9/12

8/22 Standings, musings, and discourse

Hello all! Thanks for driving out and coming to the latest event! It was a great time! I know that it went crazy late (about 2:30) - From now on we are going to start on time, and I'm thinking over some other changes to try to finish by 12.30. This way people can hang out, play a side game or two and still have a great time, instead of watching the clock the whole time.

Click to see the standings below - Congrats to Mike S. for taking down the massive field of 18 and winning his first Dogtag!! Also, we have a new points leader - our gracious host...hmmmm....

You can start to see some trends evolving here: Of the ones I've noticed- Dave M and Rob F seem to be fighting it out for the Phil Mickelson award...and every event we've had has had a Re-Buy place in the money, with 2/4 having won the whole thing.

Also, I wanted to extend a thank you to everyone for making my job easy - every time we've played the pot has been exactly right, I appreciate it!

Thanks to Rey for hosting, and if you guys could remember to donate a few bucks to the house, it is much appreciated!

I'm going to start looking at dates for the final Tournament - I was originally thinking of January. Does anyone have any "absolutely no" dates in Jan?

Speaking of dates, we have Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up, so I think it would be wise to push up the dates a little bit so we don't run into anything, so I'm tentatively thinking of 9/12, 10/10, 11/14, and 12/5 for the remaining dates - I know that cuts down the next one to only 3 weeks b/t the two, but I think we have enough interest to do it....I'll make a new post when everything is finalizied.
