Cock & Bull Cup IX champion, September 16, 2015.
We had 17 players in the September tournament, that put us one over the perfect 16 player bracket forcing 2 random players to fight for a spot in Round II. There were plenty of first-time players, who the odds always seem to favor over the regulars. The weather turned out to be really nice making the atmosphere out on the patio perfect for enthusiastic gamers. Age or gender makes no difference in this game so it came as no surprise that new-comer, Coco, beat the competition and put her name on the cup!

Cock & Bull Cup V champion, May 20, 2015.
In this 12-player bracket, four random players got a bye in Round I, forcing the other eight players to fight for a spot in round II. The new patio at Prohibition is the perfect place to hang out and play Cock & Bull even after  the sun goes down.

We changed the tournament to Wednesday rather than Tuesday in the hope that more players would be able to attend.

Unseasonably warm weather continued into February here in San Diego. As the rest of the nation was pummeled with wave after wave of snow and ice storms, local surfers were pummeled by wave after wave on our sunny beaches. We had a perfect 16-player bracket making for an exciting night at Prohibition. In the final round, Abby came from behind to knock out Marlon in a crazy final caught on the video above!

The first tournament of 2015 was a mighty slow night, we had just 7 players which made it necessary for me to join in as the much needed 8th player to make it an even bracket. The holidays just wore people out.

2014 Cock & Bull Cup XI Tournament
Picture
Cock & Bull Cup XI champion and defender, November 18, 2014 at Prohibition.
November came with mild weather and  gradual cooling, but still not a drop of rain for the thirsty California landscape. We had a decent showing of 14 players in the bracket for the tournament. This gave both Sandy and Franchesca a bye in the first round. But playing one less game than everyone else doesn't guarantee you a win in this game! Both players were immediately eliminated in round II along with Maggie and Josh. It was Andrea versus Anibal in the final round where Andrea prevailed once again and won the cup for her second time this year!

Picture
Cock & Bull Cup X champion and defender, October 21, 2014 at Prohibition.
We had about half of the players in October than we did in September, but at least the scorching hot weather finally relented. In the beginning, we had 11 players in the bracket giving 5 people a bye in Round I. Then late comers, Maggie and Sydney, knocked that down to just 3 people with a bye. Little Grace was so thrilled to get her first tournament game win that she was bouncing in her seat. Maggie pulled off an amazing 6 (count 'em) SIX double monkeys in a single game vs Franchesca! But her daughter, Sydney, was an unstoppable force, taking down mom in the final.

Andrew eliminated Sandy
Franchesca eliminated Marian

August was a particularly sweltering month in 2014, which hailed the beginning of the school year in San Diego. Various other player commitments led to a smaller turnout than usual, but short on players does not equal short on fun. Kudos to Francesca for fearlessly taking down her mom in the final round!

The inaugural tournament at Prohibition kicked-off with Cock & Bull Cup V, which takes its name from the fifth month of the year.
