Another Memorial Day, another BayCon. This was my best in years, probably since the year that John came out and taught us the almost-fully-formed Zendo. (And other good things happened that year, too.) West Coast Zendo 7 ----- 8 participants, ~20% smaller than previous years Finalists: Stephanie Cass, Tim Fitelson, Eric Messick, Spencer Morningstar[*] WINNER: Stephanie Cass BayCon Fluxx 4 ----- 22 (I think) participants, on a par with previous years, and twice the size of last year (in "the game-in closet" at the emergency holographic hotel) Finalists: Greg Downing, Harold "Moose" Harrigan, Rey Magdael, Sarah Pierce, Joyce Tatro WINNER: Greg Downing So, a good year for those towards the beginning of the alphabet, as both events were won by the finalists who came first in alphabetical order. You know that if there was such a fix in, /I/ didn't do it! %-} See: http://baycon.org/2008/pubs/Issue7_web.pdf Maybe I'll grab some of the pix off of Beth's computer, and put them up on the LJ Rabbits community. EZ P.S.: * -- BayCon Fluxx 2 /and/ 3 winner. I think he went to the Zendo finals last year, too. I find a consistent high level of performance in both games noteworthy. ~~~~~ zuckermn@xxxxxxxxx http://www.geocities.com/zuckermn
