COGA DBA Teaching Session & Tournament a learning experience
by Andy Swingle
Good turn out today! I'm tired. Im looking at running another tourney
in October at COGA where prizes will be available to veeryone -- not just
"noobs." Dave Barr has vowed to have his new Alexander Imperial
army painted by next tourney. He has 9 months to get'er done! Mike Demana,
Phil, Dylan and Derek (even though you were doing refresher) -- thanks for
coming out and helping me. Jeff Fletcher from the DBM guys came out...and
won! I learned a few obscure rules by running this, thanks to Mike. And
I learned what it means to run a tourney. I ran it very lax because there
were a lot of newer players. Thank you guys for being patient. I'm open
to constructive criticism -- I'm sure there are things I can improve on.
Cheers! Here are the results:
- 1. Jeff Fletcher, Philistine, 3-0, 19 pts.
- 2. John Pittenger, Later Hoplite Greek (Siciliot), 2-1, 14 pts.
- 3. Mike Demana/Derek Wagener*, 2-1, 12 pts.
- 4. Jim Flynn, Ancient British, 2-1, 12 pts.
- 5. Phil Wells, Warring States Chinese, 1-2, 12 pts.
- 6. Dave Barr, Medieval German, 1-2, 11 pts.
- 7. Carson Sheir, Later Hebrew, 1-2, 11 pts.
- 8. Dylan Fraser, SubRoman British, 0-3, 7 pts.
* When Derek showed up after the second round, Mike bowed out to give
Derek a chance to play some games.
