Columbus

Well, we went to Columbus this weekend to play in some pool tournaments. Friday was singles for those who signed up a couple months in advance. I was not planning on going Friday so I didn't sign up, but I wound up going on Friday because the arrangements with the kids worked out. The kids were nanna's Friday night and most of Saturday night. Dan played in the "open" singles and didn't do very well. We played in a couple mini tournys they had that night, didn't do very good in those, I can chalk it up to being up at 4:30 that morning and playing at 10 p.m at night. Needless to say it was a long day for both of us.

Saturday was teams, me, Dan, and a couple other guys from Seward were on a team. Our first match was at 9 a.m Saturday. We won so we had to play right away again, we lost the next match which put us in the loser's bracket. We got done about 12 and thought we had to be back at 1 for our next match, so we left to go eat, when we got back we got a bye, (which means we won the match we were supposed to play) so we didn't play until 3 (made for a long day). We wound up losing our match at 3 o'clock. We played a team that we knew from Lincoln, Jenny Nixon, Matt Nixon, Dan Cradick and some other guy, anyway we should never lose to them, and those of you who know them know we should have never lost to them. Losing that match made us available for the second chance tournament, we got 4th. We were all pretty sick of pool for a while.

We had a few teams that we knew from Lincoln playing. The team that Dan plays with on Wednesday nights won the "intermediate" team tourny.

My next tournament is the "B" and "C" tourny that Madsen's holds every year. Last year I played really well, so we'll see what happens this year.
