Well, it looks like we'll be having a real blowout for our annual Super Bowl Party!

We're going to have a blast while we watch the Colts and Saints knock heads. We've got a poker table ready to set up, TWO FOOSBALL TABLES (tourney time!), TWO flatscreen TVs, tunes, a grill for yer non-vegetarian items, MY bad-ass N'Awlins style red beans and rice,  some hard liquor (for those who can handle it) and storage space for whatever beers you feel like bringing!

We've got ribs, chicken, shrimp, burgers and hot dogs covered. If you want steak or lobster, you'll have to bring it with ya! Bring your own beer if that's your drink of choice. Let me know if you're coming. 

Don't be stingy, I'm coming off about $200 so we can have a fun party so bring yourself AND some contribution to party needs!

The party will be at Ben Davis' house in Orange Park, off Kingsley Ave and Plainsfield. If you want to Mapquest his address, it's 423 Ralph Street, Orange Park, FL 32073.

Remember to bring some CASH if you want to play poker, join the foosball tournament(s) or buy some Super Bowl Squares!

Please RSVP (let us know you're coming)!!! You can tell me or Ben at UBC on Saturday OR call or email me Chris or Ben.

See ya there, Hugh

It has been noted that there are several players with minimal handicap ratings, and that this is skewing the results by giving maximum handicap assistance to players with too much experience.

Due to this fact, EVERYONE'S points will be reviewed, and updated where deemed appropriate.

In addition, we will reserve the right to make corrections DURING tournaments, but only between matches. Once a match has started, the handicap ratings in effect will count.

If you believe someone's rating is not appropriate for our handicap scale, you MUST bring it to our attention BEFORE your match begins or you will have to live with the results.

---

Our Handicap System was originally designed to give less experienced players HOPE, and a chance to win if their more experienced opponents play below their ability. The largest handicaps should only be applied when two top-five players play two TRUE BEGINNERS. We will use this as a guideline while reviewing the individual points and when considering any mid-event adjustments.

 

Congratulations to Chris Pockelwald, who got his first local tournament win on Wednesday, December 23rd

Chris' partner was Hugh Wintin, and the event was a DYP.

They won the Winner's Bracket, and held off Chris Carson and Dave Sevic in the final.

Chris C. and Dave won the first set of the finals 2-0, with Chris P. and Hugh winning the second set 2-0.
