Singles Tournament at Campus Martius Park a Success


Saturday's Singles Tournament at Campus Martius Park went very smoothly. The tournament began at around 11:30 a.m. with 7 competitors. I assembled the matches (who-plays-whom) and we began playing. Since there were 7 players, there would be "make-up" games - a format which works nicely because everyone plays 6 games total. The players who have a make-up game that round awaits their competitor to be available.

Then Alpha showed up (making 8 competitors) - an easy addition to make (since he'd take all of the make-up matches to make his 6 games...

Then 2 more players showed (Matt & Jeff S.) - easy additions to the tournament, they'd play each other for their first match, then play any competitors waiting for other matches to end. In singles, the games are relatively fast (15-20 minutes) so this format works very easily.

The result? Dan C. won five games, easily taking the tournament's number 1 spot. Then Tony T. took 2nd place; and Third taken by Jeff S.
