Bob: well...Maybe ....but not necessarily....
Andre: ....Bob....What happened?
Bob: Well Andre, there was this dude from Chicago, he was a very friendly player, he didn't say 'no' when I asked him to play...
Andre: ...and....
Bob: ...He robbed us.
Congratulations to Edward G. (4.5)
We had 9 players in last night's Squash SMASH Tourney - Great turn out considering the last few weeks have been pretty slow. Edward G. (4.5), in town for just a beat, came up to play some squash.... He taught a lot of Atlanta squash players how Chi-town does squash.... He went through a tough field too: Fletch C. (5.0) - fell, Chris E (3.5) (and also a Houston roadie) - fell, Luis P. (3.0) our strong local - fell twice! He said he'd be back in maybe January (I would too if I knew the flock was easily fleeced). Graciously, Edward did forgo the Marlow's Tavern Gift Card and donated it to the next tourney. Atlanta - Make ready your preparations and skills.
1. Edward G. (4.5) - $81 + $25 Marlow's Tavern Gift Card
2. Luis P. - $39
3. Todd H. (3.0) - $15
Saim K. (5.0) - Won the NIB ball for signing up online.

| The final full bracket |
All things considered - it was a battle for the night with lots of new players: Chris E. (3.5), out of Houston and who debuted in our Sept 14 tourney, came back for some more action. Luis P. (3.0) brought a friend, David R. (3.0) and even though David fell in the first round, he said he had a lot of fun. Speaking of Luis P., he gave everyone a run for the money with some great gets and long rally. This is Luis's 3rd time coming in 2nd... a gambler might put their money on him in the next tourney. We also had Wayne J. (4.5), who being a upper level skill player is used to giving up weight to all the lower level players... but not this tourney - Wayne got to face two 3.0 players but then also had a battle against Saim K. (5.0). Saim K., who usually doesn't sweat, had a bead of sweat on his brow that match. Did I mention Robert M. (4.0)? He's been gone for a long while and last played back in August. We reminded him what happens to players who don't play for a while. Even though he just left to go to Bangkok, hopefully, he'll be back in a week or two.
All in all it was a great night. I hope everyone had a great time.
Below are some great pics n vids and more terrible commentary.
