As LA said, we are out of the city cup. We made it to the final 16 which is darn good.
We almost had PC, LA's game was close on the tie breaker and I was up 10-2 or 10-1 in my TA game and I couldn't close the deal.
The cup will be ours someday. I can smell it.
On the other hand the league is still going on. We have only match left and I just heard from MagicTown that the games they picked are BG, LG, DV, LC, CS, SP LA and I will match that up with players shortly.
Current standings (Wins = 2 pts, Ties = 1 pt):
Reality-Town 25 pts (16 matches played)
EmeraldCity 20 pts (14 matches played)
LasVegas 19 pts (13 matches played)
ChinaTown 18 pts (16 matches played)
Babylon 16 pts (16 matches played)
Dragontown 16 pts (15 matches played)
Meridain 14 pts (15 matches played)
VOICES 14 pts (16 matches played)
MagicTown 13 pts (15 matches played)
Andoria 12 pts (16 matches played)
7Heaven 8 pts (14 matches played)
Reflection 1 pts (12 matches played)
The top three spots are still up for grabs. Reality-Town does have a lead over us and Vegas, but it can be done with a little help.
Also note that a lot of the teams trying to catch us (ChinaTown, Babylon and Dragontown), have finished more matches then us and still haven't caught us on pts, which is a good sign.
I just wanted to say, reguardless of how this finishes up, that I think everyone has done a great job. Without going back to my first post, the goal I had for the team was 5th place. It was (I thought) a good goal that we could make considering the strengths of last year's team and the new Munchkins that we added in the off-season. One of my favorite quotes is:
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory. I thought it would be a good idea to set a goal and see if we could make it.
However, to be right in there fighting for one of the top spots is really great and everyone deserves a pat on the back. Everyone has done a great job, reguardless of how many games you won or loss. If you are not happy with your record I guarantee that you are facing some really hard players and if we had someone better to play that game, we would schedule him/her and give you some easier players (because no one likes losing).
Sorry if this goes on for a bit, over the past weeks I have got some comments from players, who have lost about as many games as they won, who wondered if they were helping the team or not. I know it is hard to see from your angle, but this is a 'team sport' and it would be a loss to us if any one of us was not here.
All that said, we have a few more games to finish. Let's see if we can finish up strong and keep this high spot.
Most of all: Have Fun!!!!
Which is the most important goal of all.
