A new season

Wow. 30 teams this season. Praise the Lord that we're in the 6:15 slot. Looking around there were plenty of new old faces in the room, which was kinda nice. Closer to home, we had a new old face ourselves, Mr Tischler was back. This was achieved thru the kindness of Matt, who joined Mr Donofrio on the skipper's wife's team for a season. It was really odd to see both of them not playing for us & it'll be an interesting clash when we meet their team on April 11th. But I digress.....

We got to play Gina's new team, which was filled with players with rather generous handicaps. The JPNEWT tour points leader as a C+? That's a good one. Anyway, we got to play in the "mosh pit" & the dodgey handicappers weren't there. We started our new season with our "new" player, matching the Dawg against Gina & Liz getting Brenda. 'Twas lovely to see Jeff back in action, even if he wasn't firing on all cylinders. Don't worry pal, "it's just like riding a bike mate". It'll come back to you, it just wasn't there tonight. Liz stomped on Brenda in half the time it took Mr T to lose his match and Weasler went up only to find he got to play Brenda again. She turned out to be the gift that kept on giving & Weasly started the season in fine fashion, with a W. In the final match we had a choice between Slipper & Skipper against a D+, which is no choice at all really with the handicaps, so BTR got to play. And win.

I've really gotta win a coin toss once in a while so I can increase Steve's chances of at least finding a decent matchup. I will call "heads" next time guys. Promise.

We did win though, which is the right way to start a new season. It seems that some of the 8:45 session people are less than happy with their slot. I heard that Gary Sofa-hottee got home at 1:00am and his team lost be one rack. Imagine how it would've gone if they'd needed a tie-breaker? Yup, 6:15 is the way to go!
