The Friday Panache

Friday saw the first of the weekend's three tournament days begin. The format was a panache. There were three qualifying rounds in which players were randomly paired with new partners and against new opponents in each round. At the end of the qualifying rounds, players were ranked by number of wins with point differential as the first tie-breaker and point quotient as the second.

Elimination play was a single round event in which the #1, #2, and #3 ranked players teamed as a triples team and played against the #4, #5, and #6 ranked players to determine the champions and runners-up for the day.

Congratulations to the winners, who included Shirley of Carolina Petanque, Angie of Maine Boules, and Ron of Zanesfield Petanque!

Loren McCumber (ZPC) won the pointing contest!
