I vote we play either Eyes or Christmas Present or both after this

So there were a lot of things that happened last minute out of Caleb's control, but this tournament ran as smooth as could be expected. We were originally supposed to have 12 people playing, and between Wednesday and today we lost four of them, plus he had a moderator call out this morning. On top of that, we had two people leave due to a work emergency after round five, so the stats are a little wonky. Overall, I think Caleb did a good job with what he had, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we had a good time!

Congrats to Caleb on the win!

Also, we played two rounds of Christmas Present shootout style afterward, Caleb won the first round, scoring 100 points. I won the second round, scoring 75 points.
