Here's your pre-registered field for Continentals tomorrow and their going-in rating:

Eric Robinett 1822
Daniel Matteson 1732
Maggie Geppert 1720
Rick Kinney 1603
Ted Reebel 1583
Joseph Bazemore 1565
Sean O'Reilly 1511
CJ Ash 1506
Ace Matteson 1261

This is real easy. You make 2 picks: Winner and most improved rating. I'll do something similar for Nationals next week and Worlds next month. Whoever gets the most points wins.

I don't have any prize support. If any of the powers that be want to chip in a foil or something I won't turn it down, but this is just for the love of the game.

My Picks:
Winner: With MVB running the judge's table, this field is wide open. Robinett has to be considered the favorite, but I don't know how much constructed he's played lately. Matteson is another strong contender, but I'm actually going to go with Maggie to win. Being this year's Worlds Hostess with the Mostess, this is her chance to get in the arena, and I think her online experience over the last year pays off and she breaks through for her first (?) Major Championship.

Most Improved: Sean O'Reilly rating is criminally low. The Old Schooler knows his way around the game and I'm betting he brings the goods for the big show.

What do you think? Who walks out of MouseHouseLand with the title and the bragging rights? We'll find out in a few hours so get your picks in quick!

I always respect a man (or other- or non-gendered person) who isn't afraid to bet on himself (or herself, or theirself).

Good luck tomorrow, Ted. May the odds be ever in your favor! :cheersL:

Fair warning - I'm only expecting to play if we have an odd number (to avoid a bye) or if I'm asked to play. Plus, it'll be interesting to see how I am getting only plane sleep....

Michael,
At the airport for another 2.5 hours

Yeah obviously if MVB plays he'd be a heavy favorite... do you risk the donut for the big winning upside?

Anyone who's played fantasy football knows the feeling of having to wrestle with the decision to start a high end stud player who picked up a Questionable tag mid week. Decisions, decisions! :wink:

  • Matteson, D - FTW
  • Matteson, A - Most Improved Rating (with a name like Ace, they had to get one of the two spots).

Congrats to MVB for the win!

BIG congrats to Ace Matteson for picking the right time to win 2 games and jump a whopping 60 ratings points!

And congrats to Danny for picking Ace and being the only participant on the board in this silly little side game!

We'll see y'all next week for Round 2 - US Nationals! :cheersL:
