This year, unlike a couple years ago when Tucker won, I was lucky enough to get a last-second play on the table in the finals. Tucker and I had just agreed to a medium prisoner exchange and got our attackers on the table to over-ice each other's defender just before Eric called time, giving each of us 2 more points of successful attack. That allowed Tucker to pass Eeyore for third and me to leapfrog Andy for the win.
And may I say... Holy Macaroni! I didn't realize the scores were so close. ...or so low. ...or that I was ahead of Andy.

Yow. 5? That's terrible! I'm sorry I couldn't make it this year;
alas, I had to show up to NEfilk (as I'm vice-chairing next year's
NEfilk)!
Congratulations, Ryan!
So players were who? Tucker, Andy, Ryan, Eeyore, Sor, I'd have to
guess, with Kat getting eliminated for the Final (I -have- to arrange
more practice games for when I'm in Boston!)?
