2013 Cock & Bull Cup XII Tournament
Cock & Bull Cup XII champion and defender, December 10, 2013 at Monkey Paw.
|
It was equal opportunity for all 16 players in this perfectly even sudden-death bracket. Early on I was starting to think we were going to have a very small turnout. I had no idea that there was some kind of police activity going on a couple of blocks away creating a traffic nightmare for players en route. Joe won the final in a lively game against Darryl for the second time. Even though Anibal won just one game, it was enough to secure the Autumn Growler.

Round I
Joe eliminated Helen Colin eliminated Michael P. Edith eliminated Alex D. Nora eliminated Jason Darryl eliminated Monique Matt eliminated Jack Don eliminated Pattie Anibal eliminated Veronica Round II Joe eliminated Colin Nora eliminated Edith Darryl eliminated Matt Don eliminated Anibal Round III Joe eliminated Nora Darryl eliminated Don Final Round Joe eliminated Darryl |

Cock & Bull Cup III, Champion and defender, March 12, 2013 at Monkey Paw.

The second Tuesday of March was unusually busy at Monkey Paw, I think the warmer weather made for some very thirsty San Diegans. There seemed to be a younger and much louder crowd on this night, so much so that they pretty much drowned out the juke box, and if you have been to Monkey Paw you know what I mean when I say that is no easy feat. There were four first-time game players, and as has been the norm, one of the newbies took home the cup.
Round I Pattie eliminated Brandon Shelly eliminated Jessica Ronnd II Edith eliminated Pattie Edith eliminated Shelly |

2013 Cock & Bull Cup II
Cock & Bull Cup II, Champion and defender, Feb 12, 2013 at Monkey Paw.

As the old saying goes, you snooze you lose! Fat Tuesday was a pretty busy night for Monkey Paw this year. It's too bad that most of our regular players were either out and about enjoying the Mardi Gras fest or unable to make it. This cut the odds down considerably for the four players hell bent on a quest for the golden goblet of glory. It was easy pickens for Jack Der, who only needed to defeat two players to take the cup. Some say there should be an asterisk by his name... I say, "Monkey muffins!"

The eleventh anniversary of 9/11 turned out to be a gloomy break from the unrelenting heat and humidity that roasted the region since the last tournament. Unfortunately many regulars were unable to attend as was the defender who had to forfeit the cup. Even though there were only eight players, the girls dominated.
