more Trials

Well, it was both a huge success and a disappointment at the same time.   We awoke the morning of the first round robin ready to do battle.   We came out firing in the morning and played ourselves into qualifying and up the charts to a middle of the pack position...   This took a lot out of us (I believe) because in the evening we had some tough draws in our matches and our opponents got the better of us.   We dug ourselves another hole to try to play our way out of the next morning.

Sunday morning we were ready to go.   We had 3 matches to play.  2-1 with two good wins would be enough to get us through to the KO phase of the event.   We managed to go 2-1, but our wins were small -- and we didn't quite have enough firepower to pull of the comeback once again.   We played well, but there places for everyone one of us to win it (which is true in every event... )   

We weren't immediately satisfied with our results, but we have received many great compliments about our play and looking back we know that we did well -- better than most people expected.   I'm sure that we will be back to do battle at this event next year and for many years to come...
