Kayser update

Yesterday we played our first game. We were against an established Broomstones team that had been playing together for three years (this was our first game together). We were competitive in the first half, but then gave up 3 or 4 points in the 5th end (inning) and ended up losing by a bunch and stopping in the 7th (usually you play 8 ends).

This morning we played at 9:30am against a lovely TCC (the country club) team. We played better than yesterday, we're really starting to come together as a team. Each point was hard fought, we were down 2 points going into the 7th end and when it became clear we wouldn't take it we stopped (they've been strict about stopping as soon as possible to adhear to the time schedule. I think there are 7 or 8 draw times scheduled for today.)

So we lost again, but we did our best, I'm happy with how we played, and we're having a good time (the free beers don't hurt either.) Our third event game is at 4:30 this afternoon. If we lose we're out :( and if we win we have to play at 7am tomorrow :)/:( so either outcome will be fine.

good news and bad bonspiel news

We won our game!!!

We fulfilled our goal of winning at least one game. In fact all eight of the Potomac teams have won at least one game, we have four teams in the first event, two in the second, and two in the third (us and rb's team that we play tomorrow morning). Go Potomac!

(and now we have to play at 7am, boo)
