Every month at Novel Ideas we are running Shadowfist tournaments - send email to rickford@grove.ufl.edu or joechip@atlantic.net for details on future events.
At the June tournament, we had a slightly smaller turnout than expected - only 9 people showed up. On the plus side, 9 players means easy to arrange 3 player games. We played 4 Swiss-like rounds of 3 player games followed by the finals. In the preliminary rounds, Rick's Final Brawls and Whirlpools paved the way Mad Dog and Ting Ting to do what they do best while Bill continued to abuse The Hungry and the Vivisector for absurd numbers of huge hitters. Tom's Crib-Badhair-Brawl-Baptism-Baptism-Baptism tricks made many sites go away :) Ray again made it to the finals with his 250 cards of death - we're still not sure how he does it. Details on these matches will be posted at the end of this article.
