December 10, 2005 Kamp Washington Challenge
Location: John's Place Restaurant and Bar
11104 Lee Highway Fairfax, Virginia
Because of the light turnout, the A
players decided to play a round robin round prior to the double
elimination round. I was not following the A division too much,
but saw some close games (Steve B d. Paul M 1.3B to 1.3B on WCS), and
some not so close games (Dave S ~ 6B on DM towhatever Ed Z had).
In the end, Steve B (NJ) secured third
place and Ed Z (PA) and Dave S (MD) were battling it out for first.
Dave Stewart was the winner of the winners' bracket and Ed Z was
the winner of the losers' bracket.
Dave opted to go second and Ed chose Getaway. Ed won a close game
there and then Dave took him to Demolition Man. I think this is
where Dr. Stewart put up about 6B or so - very nice! Ed then
chose Dracula,
proceeded to win, forcing the second match. I did not catch the action in the second match, but Ed came out on top.
In the B division, Colin was top seeded and pulled out the win. Brian Leonard came in second, Brad (of John's Place League) took third place, and Adam (of VBH league) won the playoff for fourth place. Now that the STTNG is back at home, Colin will have to come up with anew "favorite game" to ride at John's (maybe Mars God of War).
Classics Tournament
The classics tournament was played by Paul, Ed, Steve, Colin, Brian and
myself. I played because there were so few players, and all the
players gave me the OK. I said that if I won, I would give half
of my winnings to second place.
After barely surviving my first round bout with a tough Brian L, I cruised through the winners' bracket without losing a match. Steve B took third and Colin won the losers' bracket. Colin won the firstmatch, forcing a decisive second match. I came out on top here.
Mini-Tournaments
Colin owned the mini-tournaments winning all of them. The top two
places were paid out (70% and 30% of the entry fees). Steve B and
Ed Z were second place finishers on split-flipper Dracula, Paul M and
Colin H finished first. Colin came in first and second place on
one-handed Getaway (~122M) and one ball Addams. Colin won
the classic game mini-tournament on Skateball and I believe Steve B
took second.
