Well Well Well... wasn't today just a HILARIOUS comedy of errors then, huh?
First of all, the tournament gets shut down - which not only reduced the overall number who played by around 20... but made me look like a total fool for my desperate number mongering yesterday!
On top of THAT - us poor Affiliate Managers get heckled and beat up on by all their so called 'loyal' affiliates who AGAIN united to terrify us off the tables. I'm almost to scared to sleep tonight (almost).
HOWEVER
Despite the initial woopsie that occurred, the 38 of us that DID play had a whale of a time (sorry to everyone who missed out.... rumor has it theres another one on next month!). I'd just like to point out that we frantically emailed everyone individually, the minute we found out they needed to re-register.... and made the game later, for maximum re-entry. What i'm basically getting at here is.... we tried.... so give us a break already. ;)
The game itself was a heap of fun! Everyone who was there was in good spirits, there were some amazing hands and some pretty tricky plays.
The recipients of the Knock-out-a-loyal-affiliate-manager-for-a-freeroll freerolls were luckylulo, 1337Alex, Badb0iieP4EF and DaChineseDutchGuy. Each of these Affiliates proved to be very crafty, luring each of their victims in to a false sense of security and then ATTACKING!
(They all played incredibly well).
Other mentions go to our top 5 winners... specifically the aptly named 'best1ever', 'dabears63', 'FruitBatCat' and the affiliate-manager-taker-outer 'Badb0iieP4EF'. Player of the match however (which is an 'honor' I have just decided to dish out) goes to DaChineseDutchGuy, who not only knocked me out (a hard feat, of course) but went on to win the entire game.
As much as I love an affiliate tournament that's bustling with the moans and grunts of many merry men (and women), it was nice to have a little intimidate time with a small group of players.... I of course say this primarily because I out-lasted all the other Managers and am currently feeling very chuffed about the game, and about myself.
I'll let you know when I set up the September game!
