Second Checker Tournament Results

Seven people turned out for our second checker tournament of this month. The stakes were set a little higher and the competition was all in fun.

The battle was between friends and siblings.  Which ensured gentle verbal prodding to try to confuse the opponent into making a wrong move.  It finally came down to two friends battling it out during the last game to see who would be declared champion.

Erin and Trisha were equally matched it seemed, and they both were quiet in concentration during the deciding match.  But as with all games, this too came to an end.

Trisha happily claimed the winnings despite some of the pouting amongst her friends.

Congratulations Trisha for being Red Hill General Store's 2nd Checker Tournament's Champion!

Last Friday's Checker Tournament Results

We had 4 people turn out for our checker tournament this past Friday.  We are hoping for more this coming Friday!  But here is the play by play:

Player Perspective

The games were heated battles between fierce competitors.  Brother battling Sister.  Girlfriend against Boyfriend.  Grandmother against Grandchildren.

This phrase was heard at least once:

"Grandma! You are just being mean!"

Laughter by all followed that statement.  

Deep in thought Evan examines his options.

With each round someone was knocked out of the running for the prize.  And as it came towards the end, people started planning their moves more carefully.

Evan wins the Prize!

Finally, after an hour of heated competition, several laughs, four rounds of checkers, and a very close last game.  Evan came out on top.  At least for a moment...

Paying back borrowed money.

The winnings were split to cover money borrowed for his door fee.  But we still had very happy competitors, and great fun overall.

Want to join in all the good hearted fun?  Join us this Friday, Jan. 21 for our next Checker Tournament!
