Overcoming the Unforseen

Who knew with all the scheduling problems the burn ban would be the central thing preventing us playing? Even with Todd knowingly skipping the day of play he suggested, the other more commited players came out and met up to pursue our love interest. Heres the single game results:

01-22-06
Game 1- Jake, Jumpy, Morris (2 Ball)
winner: Morris, Jumpy, Morris, Jumpy, Jake, Jake

I also think, if 2 ball games become more prevelant, then they should get their own scoring list. The more times we can get out and play the more games we have to make something of. I was also thinking about making something for scoring. In one post I joked about Jumpy getting a 'doublus victorious'. This type of thing could be integrated with a ranking system. You could have your raw percentage, but also credits to your name. Like in the computer versions of Risk you can get medals for doing certain things, maybe we could add something like this into our system. The problem though, is that while giving out a DV is easy since you just look at the games and see if a person won twice in a row in one night. But do we want to have a tablet recording croquets (or roquets which i dread tallying that), cross court shots, etc., but it would add in an element of telling us how a player performs.

So using a fictious player, we'll call him Todd Suckington, so Mr. Suckington has a 55% point score, and he has no DV's, 5 croquets, 24 roquets, etc. I guess the problem here is you cant really have a percentage of roquets and stuff, unless we then tally every shot taken. Geez, this sucks.

our cuase is true.
