Super 5's Round 2 and TK Round 3

Late updating this because I went to Japan for a holiday!

Couple of weeks ago we played our first round of Super 5's for the year, given we missed the first one because we were in Thailand. Our roster was Timmy C, Stiffla, Rambo, Zooey and myself. The field was OK, the snake had a big bunker in the center of it which made it pretty comfortable to play. With the day based on points and no finals, a few screw ups and losing the Killswitch game left us in 2nd place.


The week after was TK round 3. Finally got to play a local tourney with the boys after being in Sydney for the first round and Adelaide for the second. This was the first tourney with everyone present on the new roster. Rotating with so many guys is still something that's going to take a bit of work to figure out, but the day went pretty smooth overall. Personally I had a sweet day, I loved the field, and it was great to have Griff back after his thumb injury. The Dash Bratts have come so far since when I remember first playing them. They were sitting ahead of us in points going into the finals. First game of the finals against them, we destroyed them in less than a minute -- their right side just disappeared and I was able to get to their side of the field pretty quickly down the snake. Credit to them, they came back the second game and beat us; I wish I could commentate on what happened but I'm not entirely sure! The third game we slowed it down a bit, and I felt the game was fairly even for a while. Having Griff in the snake made a huge difference, and Rambo and I were able to fill out to effective spots as the game whittled down. We won the game giving us 1st place.


In other news, Mason ended up returning to the team once he cleaned all the sand from his vagina. He's one of us, it would have just sucked to have lost him so we're all really pleased he's back.

Now we have to get it back in the Philippines, we have something to prove after our terrible performance in Thailand. We are definitely going to be more prepared this time.
