---- Nov 2019 MN Monthly Results ---
24 players participated across three events yesterday for the Nov Monthly. Potts returns with one of his trademark blast-from-the-past goalies as Haar makes an appearance, Gene O comes down warming up for Thanksgiving, and Wayne and Roger come back down from Twin Ports as Roger continues his streak of placing on Saturdays at Jimmy's.
BYP Results - 10 teams
1st: William W III/Nate O
2nd: Mo A/Gene P
3rd: John W/Rick B
Potts/Ray H
Skip S/Tom B
Tony M/Wayne A
Ben T/Jared W
Gene O/Chris G
Dan D/Steve M
Wayne A (WI)/Roger L
Gene P and Mo made their presence felt with some giant-slaying against John and Rick, and the surging Potts and Ray burning through the loser's side. However, they didn't have an answer for the team that sent them there as Bill and Nate won in the first set.
No-Conflict Singles - 7 players
1st: Skip S (DD)
2nd: Chris M
3rd: Roger L
Gene O
Scott L
Wayne A (WI)
Josh B
Tom B
Both Chris and I were trading 2-bar shots in both the king seat match and final. His patented Frankenstein earned him king seat. We shortened the second set to a race to 7 for time. It had a fair share of slop, but Chris forced a 6-6 point with a great drive-by-esque 5-bar to 3-bar pick up. Struggling to man the goalie and 2- rob with my left hand, I finally stuffed one of Chris' lethal 2-bar shots for the ugly win. Great games, Chris!
MN Shuffle DYP - 7 teams
1st: Skip S/Roger L
2nd: William W III/Gene P
3rd: John W/Nate O
Tom B/Chris M
Ben T/Wayne A (WI)
Uday/Josh B
Scott L/Gene O
As the bring wrapped up, we got to shuffling. This Shuffle was characterized by an unlikely number of preserving the team line-ups after the shuffle. Of the 9 shuffles that occurred, 5 re-shuffled to the same teams (beating the 1 in 3 odds). The beneficiaries? Gene P/John W, Nate O/Bill, Tom B/Chris M and Roger and Me (move still on the way) who all won multiple straight via the non-shuffle.
Thanks to Jimmy's and their staff for hosting and to all the players for coming out.
