22 at the UNO Community Center to celebrate our group’s 3rd anniversary of Wednesday night play – tying our attendance record. It was a festive night, highlighted by a 16-person Crokinole tournament and party games.
Welcome to Joey on his first visit and welcome back to Jeremiah, Marisa, Peter and Chris S.
Ethan and Tony divided the Crokinole entrants into four 4-person pools for Olympic style round robin play on 4 boards, with the top two in each pool making the 8-player elimination portion. Chris Warren won the final match over Tony. Thanks for making this inaugural event a rousing success.
