Mixed mix at Six

By Mike Bates

It was basically a mixed, mixed tournament at Sixshooters - you sign up with a partner of the opposite sex and you both draw to see who you would play with.
Some new ideas work, some do not. This one worked awesome. Thirty-two players (16 ladies and 16 guys) showed up ready to see what it was all about. The draw was done and the teams were formed. Lots of top guys and lots of top ladies; who would win was anyone’s bet.
To make the tournament even better, more was money added. The best thing was that only one couple that signed up together drew each other. This meant playing with people you may not know or may have never played with before.
I was lucky enough to play with Juanita Bodershatz and she played excellently. We worked well together and did what had to be done. When it was over, we had won the top prize.
JR and the gang did great! It was cool to see everyone out early on a Saturday afternoon for some good darts.
