Round 13

Just got done awarding a lotta skins. Stephane Clare received 5 over the past 4 rounds: 3 high plays (MARINES (90), HORNIER (80), INOSITE (87), and 2 high games (537, 452). I like the part where I hand people money and they smile. Also of note, Phil Wertheimer's RIGHTISM for 149, Wiegand's SOYBEAN for 112, and Ron Tiekert's RA(G)OUTED for 149. For those of you looking for the annotated games, they're coming. It's harder than I thought to concentrate on data entry and Quackle simultaneously.

At Table 1, Gibson squeaks out a 3-point win versus Sherman. Off the top of my head, I saw GAMBIER(S) to the triple. Sherman was trying to figure out if there was a win there. No word on whether there was until the annotation from Gibson's side is in. Joel had requested not to be annotated this game. Next up: Gibson vs Edley.
