Friendly tournament III

Good evening everyone!

I haven't forgotten about the tournaments' results report that I must still put on the blog.  From Friday afternoon until Sunday, my wife and I, worked in (and painted) one of our rooms in our house. Things just went a bit hectic and I didn't have time to do any blogging. Mondays, is to much of a rush in this household to get to blogging.  So, apologies for this being so late.

At least I can say, I did update the latest news 'column', at the top of the blog.   :-)

Friday afternoon went very smoothly.  The four teams participating enjoyed the new format so much and we finished at 15:15 - a whole hour ahead of schedule.  After the winners was announced, I asked who can play another three rounds - individual swiss tournament.  (Our actual Friendly III tournament!)  14 players stayed, and we played another 3 rounds, making it a total of 6 games for some of the boys - a record number for a Friday afternoon!

The teams tournament, was won by the grade 7 boys team consisting of Liam, Enrico, Joshua, Keegan and Jacques - winning all three their matches.

In second place, was the grade 6 boys team, consisting of Craig, Ndinani, Chad, Tyler and Matthew.  They only lost in the first round 2 - 3, against the eventual winners.

In third place, was the (grade) two to sixers, consisting of JJ, Kian, Alex, Kiara and Samual (standing in for Allan)

In last place, we had the 3E's team - initially consisting of only grade 3E learners.  Unfortunately, some of them couldn't make it and others had to leave early.  Luckily Trevor and Mickyla could stand in and strengthen the team somewhat.  In the second round, Wouter stood in for Caitlyn who had to leave early.

The friendly tournament after the teams tournament, was eventually won by JJ Oosthuizen.  He defended his previous two titles - thus winning 3 tournaments in a row!  Congratulations.

Just to spoil you blog readers, I'm going to include two puzzles at the bottom of this post, enjoy!

Keep well

:-)
