12 Tables a New Record.
1/15/00 Ryder Results
There were so many new faces, I kept losing track of who was who. The wonderful part is that no matter how many new faces we see, there is never a change in the friendly atmosphere of the matches. There is also no change in the chatter in the lounge, except maybe it is growing every week. I do feel a little sorry though for a newcomer who for the first time tries to read between all the spits, meows and grrrrs. I guess when you go to a bridge tournament you don't really expect to be told you are a CAT and then have some DOG try to take a bite out of you. All this before you even get a table assignment.
The CATS are back, and they are up to their same old trick of jumping in front and scampering so the DOGS have to try and catch them. When the round ends and the dust clears, finding yourself down by a score of 10 to 2 looks like a mountain. The CATS kept scratching away and built a 17 to 7 lead at the end of round 2 and sealed the days dispute with a resounding 29 to 19 final score. The bloodied DOGS howled for revenge and vowed that they may be down but not out.
This has set up an ironic situation. The CATS and DOGS have each won 3 matches since the RATS departed. An all out battle for bragging rights seems likely for next week.
