Game 20 and more
Lots of shit to discuss here people. First off, last night’s game. Poops won for the third week in a row. Apparently he stopped drinking 3 weeks ago, so I’m not sure if his wins should count, as sobriety seems to be in violation of the spirit of the NSCC if not the actual letter of the law. So he’s got seven points now and the first and only threepeat of the season, and maybe ever. Boyd got another point for 15 total, narrowing Dom’s (who was strangely absent at such a crucial juncture) hold on 1st place to 1 point. Bergonz (right on with the rule books) got his first points in a long time with my personal favorite for types of win, the two point wicket kill win. He’s got a total of 5 now. Fuckin’ Fuck Yeah! Laura got her first point of the season just in time and is no longer NPP! There aren’t very many active players left in the NPP ranks anymore.
So that’s the first order of business, Second, this weekend is tournament weekend. There are two tournaments going on. Sunday is at Dave Bergonz’s place up in Grand Lake. Here’s the link. He has this to say
907 Cairns Ave, Grand Lake 80447…I can’t get the thumbtack to come up on my place…it keeps defaulting to 858. Basically its located on corner of Cairns and Lakeside, about a block south of the thumbtack on the west side.
There are a few people going up Saturday and staying overnight, so if you want to go up for the night you should RSVP Dave at bergonz@hotmail.com
Monday is Labor Day and there will be an in town tourney/housewarming shindig/BBQ at me and Laura’s new digs at 3915 Vrain st. Probably tap the beer at noonish and play around 1 or 2.
Third order of business is that Tuesday is the last game of the regular season at Wolff park. Should we crokegger it? Will there be chicken fighting? A new group pic? As it is the end of the season it’s also time to propose rule changes for next season. I’ve heard several suggestions for new points, including first kill, closest bocce, and attendance. There has also been the suggestion that any new rule should be endorsed by 10 players before it can be put to a vote, and then we can have a rules party for the voting.
Last order of bidness, there will be year round, non-season croquet starting immediatly following regular season play. Consider it a really long preseason. No points, but there may be money exchanged, and as always, winner calls the next park.
So yeah, games on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. If you want to propose any rules for ‘07, start thinking about that. And get ready for some snowquet. Hopefully see y’all Monday at my place and here’s the standings
