Crazy about CricketMania

By Catherine Smith

The Draft Choice hosted its monthly CricketMania tourney on Saturday, October 7.

Due to a minor miscommunication between the bar and the Medallion, which, by the way NEVER happens, Draft Choice was gracious enough to host TWO CricketMania tournaments in the month of October for the first time ever, and with great results!

Norm, the studly coordinator at the Draft, kicked things off on time with 13 teams. Everyone was eager to play and anxious to move on in the winner's bracket. Unfortunately not everyone does, only to meet invariably in the loser's bracket.

One by one, Dave and Randi worked their way to the driver's seat. Though that sounds like they eased their way through the field, believe me, that was not quite the case. Almost every match was close for them and for the other teams as well.

Jay and I were the highest rated team, maxing out at 18 points and giving up as many as 15 marks, making it one hell of a challenge. They won the game with the 15 marks, but had some tough challenges later on that night.

Jerry Green and his little brother came out to play as well as Draft Choice regulars, Rollie and Jesse. In the end, Dave and Randi took first; Teri and Pat took second; Darren and Scot took third.

It was a really fun night listening to music and playing darts, everyone seemed to be having a great time. The waitress, Jennifer, was really awesome! I never saw the bottom of my glass and there wasn't a dirty table in the house.

A hearty “Thank You” to the Draft Choice and to Jennifer for awesome service and a great tourney. Remember that the second Saturday of each month is CricketMania at 8pm and all the other Saturdays in the month are parity draw tournaments. Don't miss the fun, come on out and party with the best at the Draft Choice.
