Actually we didn't finish playing the tournament yet. It was 7pm when we got to the end of round 8 and since it was an advantaged final between two Toronto teams, we're planning to do it at one of our practices this week.ryanrosenberg wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 2:51 pm Thanks for playing and staffing yesterday!

Aha, that makes sense! I'll hold off on approving requests from Torontonians until then.adosreme wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 4:12 pmActually we didn't finish playing the tournament yet.

Congratulations to Toronto C for defeating Toronto A 405-200 in the first game of a (delayed) advantaged final. Thanks to all the staffers who allowed the tournament to proceed smoothly and quickly, and my apologies for a scoresheet snafu that led to a half-hour delay. Hopefully all the players enjoyed the tournament! Stats will be posted soon, once my computer stops fighting with the tournament database.
