Well...where to begin.......normally people do start with the beginning. And there is no need to pronounce yourself "abnormal" so I will too. After reading Dee's last report about how much we here at yahoo needed new people to direct the ryders I let out the word trying to recruit some new to the job. Our goal was to recruit many so the task of directing wasn't only among a few - between 8-10 was, and still is our goal. Many talked about it, and a few took up the challenge - Thanks for that - and thanks to Dee for "shakeup". Well, that was how I got my name on the list of directors. - Now for the disaster - how did it go the first time.

After a very late start, we got 15 teams rolling and the first round ended up with a first round score of 9-6 Cats.

Due to the delay and problems - 2th round was played along with the 3rd - and we added 2 more hands and played 10 hands for the second and final round -

we needed to rearrange some of the teams cuz of delay and initial difficulties some teams switched sides - Thanks to everyone for their flexibility.

After a long storming first time we ended with a final score at 18-27 Cats.
