Above are the 2014 FIPJP Confederation World Cup winners.  Congratulations to all.

And here are the 2014 FPUSA Federation Cup winners.  Congratulations.

Sunday saw the Carolina Girls move forward into the Rounds of Eight; whereas, the Guys dropped down to play in the FPUSA Federation Cup-- a totally separate one-day tournament to accommodate the men and women who didn't make the cut on Saturday plus a few local teams who chose not to participate in Saturday's play.

The ladies had to play Jo Ella/Cynthia/Susan.  These ladies had finished Won 5-Lost 0 on Saturday and had to be considered the team to beat.  Carolina started off well and played them close for a while, but it was not to be.  In the end, Cynthia/Susan/Jo Ella prevailed.

The second round saw the ladies get a second chance to play Teri/Mary/Chia.  Again it was not to be and suddenly Carolina women were out.

We men didn't fare much better.  We lost in the first round against Artem/George/Yngve.  We got a BYE in the second round.  We beat Jan/Jenn/Celia in the third round, but we lost in the fourth round to the ultimate winners of the Fed Cup, Noah/Gilbert/Pascal.  And, like the ladies, we were out.

It was still a great weekend though.  We all enjoyed the hospitality shown us and had a lot of fun, both in the tournaments and in social play.  Congratulations to our hosts for a job well done.
