Super-RATS Rip Up CATS
11/6/99
The CATS suffered a devastating loss tonight when the RATS fielded a team led by the undefeated pairs of
Kenny_Ha2/LotteryRose, Jean1998/Voices, and Barry_S80/Dutchie_226. These three flawless teams led what could only be described as a band of "super-rats" mercilessly gnawing on a band of peaceful and defenseless house-cats. The RATS jumped to an early lead in the first round by winning 5 of the 6 tables. The CATS tried to claw back, but couldn’t overcome the early lead. One striking note of bravery demonstrated by the CATS was a last hand effort by Cathugo and her substitute partner. The only way the CATS could win the table was to make a grand slam on the last hand. The partnership pushed on to a final and heroic bid of 7D doubled and re-doubled. The fact that it went down 6 did little to overshadow the team spirit so well stated by Felden1: "The CATS are purrrrfectly capable of coming back next week".This tournament, if you haven’t been to one, is one you should put on your calendar. Even the spectators seem to enjoy it. We allow and encourage kibitzing as well as cheering for your team in the lobby. There are no losers; everyone is there for a good time which lets us all go home winners. We always need subs as Yahoo will be Yahoo. Come and bring a partner, or pick one up in the lobby during registration. The tourny starts at 4:00pm EST every Saturday in Social 2. Registration opens at 3:30pm. Please come and enjoy.
