[FSPA] MOM’s Fall 2022 Playoff results

[Rob Wintler-Cox]

MOM's playoffs were held Wednesday, and a time was had by all... and for
some subset of that all, it was a good time. First place in each division
was awarded the not quite so coveted Extremely Tiny Pinball Machine trophy,
this season commemorating the classic Bally game Centaur and built by Rob.
Hopefully Kevin will once again build them next season. ^_^;

A Division
#1 Alex Jeffrey - 13 pts (hth)
#2 Joe Kosack - 13 pts
#3 Rick Elgendy - 10 pts
#4 Adam Ruben - 4 pts
What did we learn from A Division finals? Pick Game of Thrones at your
peril. Joe picked it in the first round and took a zero with under 10
million points; when Rick picked it for the final round, he took a 1 and
Joe got 4 points with 1.3bills. Joe followed that up with a loss on Iron
Maiden to Alex, but then got tired of losing and sank 4 pointers for the
rest of the night. Adam started with a strong 2nd place on GoT and then got
punched and his lunch money stolen on Avengers: Infinity Quest twice. Rick
made some strong head-to-head inroads but stumbled when Joe destroyed
Centaur. Rick did give Alex his only loss of the night on Supersonic, and
going into the final round it was almost a three-way tie... but Alex had a
strong final ball shooting 12x shots like the El Jefe that he is, and when
the dust settled he and Joe were tied and that IM game clinched it.

B Division
#1 Eric Steinberg - 17 pts
#2 Steve Jonke - 12 pts
#3 Rob Wintler-Cox - 6 pts
#4 Audrey Bonsignore - 5 pts
And speaking of lunch money getting stolen...  Eric and Steve spent the
night running roughshod over Rob and Audrey. Eric started the winning with
4 points on Centaur and couldn't stop, only taking 2nd after it no longer
mattered. Steve had a rough start on Centaur, then won all of his other
games except the h-t-h against Eric. Rob finally figured out how to play
pinball for one game against Audrey on Game of Thrones, and promptly forgot
everything he had learned after that. Going into the final round on Attack
from Mars Eric was assured of victory, but Steve still had something to
prove and totally annihilated everyone else.

C Division
#1 Roy DeJarnette - 11 pts
#2 Zach Jones - 10 pts (hth)
#3 Jami Dennis - 10 pts
#4 Rob Thomas - 9 pts
As they say in darts, nice grouping. This was a very competitive division,
with everybody getting at least one 4 point game. Then the curse of the
game pick struck: Roy won the first round on Avengers, Rob won his next
game on Supersonic, and then after that everybody lost on the games they
picked. After trading blows for the entire night, it was literally
anybody's game on the final game of AFM, but Roy ruled Mars with an iron
fist, scoring more than all the other players combined.

Congratulations to the finalists and thanks to all for playing the Fall
season!

But that's not all... Spring season is nigh! The current plan is for Week 0
to be the Wednesday after MLK Day. And the plan is to start 2023 with a
shocking twist! So be there! Aloha.
