[POOL] Game called for 18:00

[Craig Stacey]

Roger explained what happened.  Readers digest version:

Jason was supposed to play first, and they put up Bobby and Roger  
really wanted to play Bobby.  He, in fact, insisted he play Bobby.   
Jason couldn't stick around late.  JAson left.

New team rule, people.

You can't call your opponent.  There are no grudge matches, or any of  
this stuff.  Do what's best for the team, not yourself.

And if you *are* gonna call a match, you damn well better win it.

Anyway, I showed up, played my match and left.  I'm not a very good  
person to be around today, so that worked out okay.

By the time I left, it was:

Roger lost to Bobby.
Ti beat Mark.
John was embroiled in an 8-2 match against George.
I beat Adrian.

And we forfeit one.
