Nothing to do with the American Constitution, just about the forum team league.

I said I`d finished 2nd in points in the Blind Bullies to my captain Jazzer. Well after a brief msn conversation with the aforementioned I was told I needed to alter my blog. I wasn`t 2nd in the BB, I was 2nd in the entire league. I have to say I`m pretty pleased about that. There`s a wide mix of players in the league but all-in-all it`s a pretty strong field to play against.

These are our individual scores;






As I`ve said before I was very disappointed with my 40 seater results. If I`d converted one or two of those mid field finishes into solid final table results I would have finished 1st.

I`ve already told Jazzer I intend taking 1st next season lol.

Champions!!!!!!

So on Sunday we took down the league championship. As Wellington said about Waterloo "It was a damn close run thing". We`d started witha slim lead of around 50 points and just needed to keep the Aces Up players behind us. They lost the first player in 38th but we lost two shortly after in 35th and 34th. Fortunately they lost two more players in quick succession shortly after taking 31st and 30th. That left myself and Jazzer to take the win. With AU`s remaining player 2PACO doing well whilst I struggled to hang on as poor cards continued to come my way. I hung in till 17th and by then we had secured the win versus AU. My exit came as I pushed from UTG with AQ only to run into the BB`s AK.

But the drama wasn`t over with our captain Jazzer running riot near the top of the pack we realised that the third placed team had enough players left in and enough points available to snatch victory away from us. With Jazzer needing to take 4th place it was a tense hour that followed but even though the Razor`s Edge players managed a great 1st and 2nd place sweep they fell short by 13 points and the Blind Bullies added another league trophy to their cabinet. It was my first though and I`m stoked about winning it. I`ve played a few seasons of the league and it`s the first time I`ve been in a team that was running near the top all season. I`m not entirely pleased with my performance over the season. I did very well in the 10 seater events but the 40 seaters I had very poor results, not a single final table. Even so I managed to be the 2nd high scorer for BB with Jazzer snatching the honour from me in the last tourney.

Thursday was the staff match and although I was looking forward to playing it there was very little doubt in my mind that we would win. The staff are notoriously bad team players and often clash heads and take each other out. Our teamwork is spot on though and we wrapped up an easy win with overall victory going to Jazzer.
