No Man’s Land

 It is lonely but a blessing in the grand scheme of things.

Truth

 “Truth Lord, I have marred it.  Let my shame go where it doth deserve.”

The truth is no one reads this blog.  If someone dies come upon, they are probably bots.  No human has ever mentioned to me that they have read or seen this.

Does my shame have to go back to Canada?

Can it just go back in time?

Tournament Ninth Day Results: We Have a Champion!


 J wins the Tournament Championship!  It took a 4-0 first half lead and L’s rally fell short.  J has a 7-0 tournament record and achieved a double: round robin champ and playoff champ.

Tournament 8th Day Results: The Semifinals

Below you will find the results of the tournament semifinals.



L will play J in the final.  It will be the second game between L and J in the tournament.  Both teams had 3-0 records entering the last day of the round robin when they met in a game to determine the group championship .  L had a 4-0 lead but J came back with seven points to win the game and the Group 2 Championship.  Their second game will have a bigger championship on the line.

L had to get through a relegation tournament to even be in the round robin.  They will have a 8-1 record entering the final.

J with a victory in the championship game would have a perfect 7-0 record.  Their last loss was in the cup final.  While the double final victory is out of the question, they can achieve a tournament double by being the round robin and playoff  champion.

Tournament Fourth Day Results

Here are the fourth day results of Tournament 2.  I have explained what is at stake in the third day entry.


The fifth day matchups are below.  The matchups in group one will be interesting.  No team is eliminated from the playoffs yet.  Group 2 will have a matchup to decide the group winner.  Group 3 has already determined its winner but playoff spots, relegation, and the round robin championship are at stake.  Group 4, like Group 2, will have a matchup that determines its champion.


 

Hobbits & Techies Living Next to Eachothet.

 I wonder what that would be like.

Is  this analogous to the Palestinian Israeli conflict?

Some may agree with that portrayal.

I’m sure that there are hobbits on both sides of the real life conflict.

Tournament Third Day Results

Below are the third day results of Tournament 2.  The four groups play a single round robin.  The first place teams get byes into the one game sudden death quarterfinal round.  The second and third place teams play in the first playoff round for berths in the quarterfinals.  The fourth place teams avoid being relegated.  The fifth place teams have to compete in a twelve team tournament qualifying playoff in order to try to avoid relegation and gain spots in tournament 3.
