Twin Cities, MN Fall 2003 Tournament (Nov 15-16, 2003)
Director's Report
We awarded a prize for the high play in each division, but I do not have those results with me... altho I recall that John Luebkemann had the high play in Division one with 176. There was a prize for the highest scoring Q play of the weekend (in honor of our QUALITY INN venue), won by Bobbi Hendrickson who played SQUIRTED for 113. Nine states and Canada were represented. 31 players from Twin Cities Club #42, 11 other Minnesota players, 13 from neighboring Wisconsin, and 24 other players from as far as Texas, Maine, Washington State, and Ontario, and others. In spite of my own poor performance, I had fun, learned a lot, and I actually had some good games. Even my game with Cappelletto was close, and I had a mere 8-pt loss to Chris Cree. I incorrectly challenged Bob Lundegaard's lovely IMBRUTED bingo, and talked myself out of playing RUBABOO (a kind of soup!) against Steve Lent, unsure of my memory. Against Steve Pellinen (my only win) I played a triple-triple with INSURGED for 140 points, which had to come off the board (sounds like a word, don't you think?) Our new downtown venue seemed to work out well! Thanks to all who made this a fun weekend, especially our director, Tim Adamson. (When accepting his 6th place award, Chris Chree thanked Tim for not playing in the tournament, something about an 11-year record of losing to him...) We'll be doing this again in March 2004 (exact date not yet determined). Carol DustinDirector
