A damp evening at Nicole’s was enjoyed by all except Steve<\/strong> who couldn’t make it. We discussed embroidery designs and sourcing of new club shirts – thanks Nicole<\/strong> for the new dice graphic and Tara<\/strong> for taking on the purchasing duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The planned main game Pictionary<\/em> was off the table due to the odd number of attendees (it is a teams event), so Nicole<\/strong>‘s alternate choice was a new game called Six Second Scribbles<\/em> – not completely unrelated to Pictionary<\/em> in that one is required to quickly draw a list of items in a category nominated by your random card. You get points for how many of your little sketches are correctly labelled by your opponents, and your opponents get points for correctly labelling your sketches. Everyone agreed it was a good game and should be on the roster, and it will be on there after this item is published. It was determined that six seconds is nowhere near long enough for the task, so we played with a 3-minute timer. Rookie Matt<\/strong> won Scribbles<\/em> by a mere 5 points from the tied Zarubin sisters<\/strong>, so Nicole<\/strong> got second place on a dice-off with Tara<\/strong> third. Louise<\/strong> was only one point behind the sisters, denied 3rd place by the dice-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The backup Pass the Pigs<\/em> was its usual entertaining self with Tara <\/strong>and Rob<\/strong> both scoring not a single point – “pigouts” all the way for them. Louise<\/strong> won Pigs<\/em> with Wayne<\/strong> second and Matt<\/strong> third. Matt may have done better but elected to “sit” on his final score of 57 due to a mis-communication with the scorer which made him think he was a point ahead of Wayne<\/strong> when he was actually a point behind. On the other hand he may also have been saved from a pigout! No matter – he still got 110 points total. If Louise<\/strong> hadn’t won Pigs<\/em> he would be the new ladder leader. Check out the graph – there’s only 5 points separating the top two with Tara<\/strong> 130 points behind. Only Tara <\/strong>is within reach of stealing Matt’s <\/strong>or Louise’s <\/strong>trophy, and Rob <\/strong>is within striking distance of Tara’s <\/strong>trophy with Genelle <\/strong>a very outside chance if she wins both November games with Tara <\/strong>WHP. Can Matt<\/strong> win the coveted winner’s trophy in his rookie year? It has been done before, by his own father-in-law. We’ll find out in November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Scribblers… – start scribbling! A damp evening at Nicole’s was enjoyed by all except Steve who couldn’t make it.
