Thanks for doing this Trainor, it's nice to be able to see what's up at home from across the pond.
Power Pool Results Open:
Pool E:
General Strike 4-1
Mephisto 4-1
Tommy Dougls 3-2
Invictus 3-2
Pool F:
Blackfish 4-1
Phoenix 4-1
Mangina 3-2
Grand Trunk 3-2
this is based on the assumption that TDDM beat Demon and that GT beat Too Bad
Thanks for the updates Mark. See you tommorow.
Quarters are below. They are listed in ladder format (ie. winner of GS/GT plays winner of PHX/TDDM...):
General Strike
Grand Trunk
Phoenix
TDDM
Mephisto
Mangina
Invictus
Blackfish
Thanks Scotty and best of luck to the Ottawa boys!
Quarters I know:
Mephisto 10
Mangina 7
Invictus over Blackfish by one (10-9 I think).
Open semis results:
Mephisto 15
Invictus 3
Phoenix 11
General Strike 9
Invictus was barely able to follow in the first half but Dan Fassina's callahan on a layout D to take half pretty much sealed the deal for Mephisto. Invictus did not score in the second half. Mephisto went something like 11 points in a row.
Finals:
Open has Phoenix versus Mephisto
Mixed has Onyx versus Chaos
Women has Stella versus Lotus (I think)
Junior had Blackout versus Vortex. I assume Blackout won.
Master, Glum beat Figjam (easily).
Mephisto scored 11 in row to finish them off.
Go figure that the quarterfinals would pit Blackfish against their arch-rivals in Invictus. That pairing will light up a barn-burner every time.
And good for Karma for holding their own in the Open division. I think they earned themselves a nod of respect.
Lastly, I think it was just a matter of time before TFP lost a CUC title. Granted, TFP has always drawn on an exceptionally skilled pool of players, but usually with minimal preparation. Sooner or later, they were bound to run into a team that took the tournament more seriously. I think it's a welcome sign of improvement in the Mixed division to see TFP stumble for a change. No offense intended.

The Invictus/Mephisto score seems awefully lobsided... Any details?
Answer - I wasn't playing?
