Before we get to who did what today and who is where so far this month, there is something that has been unsaid for too long. So now please recognize the Players and Captains alike who have played in games here and there, when “technically” they could of been sleeping. We truly admire and respect this kind of spirit and dedication.
Congratulations to the Mentors who found themselves on top of today’s hill and are now looking around, totally enjoying the view. Today was also John’s [12beat22] first game as Captain of the Fighters… and the Fighters are still in it so, yay. Seriously though, being sentimental… John has not replaced Carol, no one that I know can do that. John is simply filling a vacancy after being asked by Carol, essentially no different from when I asked/guilted Carol to take the position beginning on day one of Jenny and Phil’s Lightning Pairs
There was a long battle on Table 2 but today’s Lightning Pairs Winners, by 2 points, are Monk’s Munchers from the Mentors. Congratulations and Well Done MUNCHERS.
Congratulations to the RiverRats, Lightning Bandits, MONKEYzBUzINEz and the Nomads who all won their respective matches in Round 2 of Jenny and Phil’s Dynamic Duos. There is a rumour floating about that Johan had an unobtainium plated horseshoe surgically implanted sometime in advance of today’s games. Just Sayin…
Round 3 [aka the next round] of Dynamic Duos will be played on April 27th. The Organizers wish that everyone will have a safe and happy Easter with Family and Friends.
Congratulations to Micheline, Roy and Cha who all finished on the Podium, in today’s Mr. Monk’s Challenge.
Congratulations to today’s Mr Monk’s Challenge winner, FranklyI from Pokerchips63, Doon101 and Martinigal3. He managed to win even with the heckling from the balcony. The others were probably to busy laughing instead of concentrating on their cards. (Frank has asked the heckler to turn up next week.)
Congratulations to the Mentors who prevailed in good style today and now have a ten point lead over the Mystics. Tomorrow there will be a reckoning between the Mystics and the Mentors that will decide who wins this month. As I have stated previously, I truly hope that the Mystics are able to do the deed and win the month. Exclusively because the Mystics are the only Team that has not not won a month yet. Painfully close more than once… with decent Karma, may this be your month Johan & all Mystics. Just sayin…
Congratulations to the Mystics who eeked out a one point win over the Mentors today. Unfortunately the Mystics needed 11 points to win April… consequently higher praise must go to the Mentors for winning April and becoming the second Team in Lightning Pairs to have more than one win. Well Done. Also today Badr [ThonBl7ror] played his first game as a Mystic in Jenny and Phil’s lightning Pairs, and did very well. Welcome to our neck of the woods.
The Organizers are pleased to announce that along with the “Lightning Pairs - Birthday Bash” special MTT at 7:30 pm Eastern on May 3rd. Also in May, all ten regular games in Jenny and Phil’s Lightning Pairs will have a 90K add on, in addition a “Bonus Game” has been set up to run at the same time as the regular games, it too will have a 90K add on however 5 Players must be registered for this game to run.
Congratulations must go to… the RiverRats, MONKEYzBUzINEz, Ad Infinitum and Nomads who all won their respective matches in Round 3 of Jenny and Phil’s Dynamic Duos. A special mention goes to Bryan [CoachesCorner] who was on his own from the get go and managed to do the deed and earn a point for the Nomads.
Doing the MMC LB took way longer than normal because it had to be done manually. Not having inputs for last Tuesday and Sunday has corrupted the formulas that automatically populate the Leaderboards. Fixing that stuff is above my pay grade. I hope that what I am about to post is correct and if it isn’t, then Dan will get it sorted later.
Congratulations to Roy, Ann and Chamallow who, as the last three, had a near epic scuffle which lasted nearly to the break. To verbally paint an idea of how vicious this battle was… picture three wolverines fighting over a frozen caribou carcass somewhere in the Yukon. Just sayin Also, since I’m here doing this… welcome to playforfunV who played his first game in this League, we hope to see you again soon.
