NATSSO II Results

Well, better late than never.

On July 17th five teams attended the second installment of the North
Avenue Trade School Summer Open. With such a small field, we ran a
double round robin, concluding the tournament before 6 pm. The final
result: Fed-Ex Antipopes, a.k.a. South Carolina, walked away
undefeated at 8-0, with Suck our CAC, a team of assorted players
residing in the state of Florida, took second with a record of 5 - 3.
The following are the complete team stats:

That done, the player results follow. The top three players were
awarded various prizes, with the unfortunate decision that Tom Waters
was ineligible for prizes because (a) he only played 3 rounds and (b)
he wasn't present for the awards ceremony.

As a general comment on how close the field was, 5 of the twenty
rounds played were decided by ten points or less, and at least two of
those I believe on tiebreakers.

With the tournament firmly in the hands of Fed-Ex Antipopes, and with
only ten of the fifteen players hanging around after the conclusion of
the tenth round, we played the last round as an exhibition, with the
top two players drafting their teams. The results of this round
follow:

Hot Lunch - 340     
Saurabh (c)     3 - 1
Joe             7 - 0
Kishan          0 - 0
Robert          3 - 1
Ajanta          0 - 0

Pontius Pilate & the Nail Drivers - 135
Eric (c)        4 - 0
Marcus          0 - 0
Taylor          0 - 2
Patrick         0 - 0
Alex            0 - 0

All that said, I would like to thank Scott Buckley for coming out and
moderating with me and Nick Bendler for editting the submitted
packets, making my otherwise hectic summer schedule sufficiently free
for me to pop out the blind rounds. I'd also like to thank Saurabh for
submitting an extra packet on two days notice when I realized I didn't
have time to get enough rounds in the event of a tie.

This concludes all the business with the second installment of the
North Avenue Trade School Summer Open - Undecided Subtitle.

Thank you,
