The 2019 Penticton Regional: Thursday, June 13

Summer has arrived!


Attendance so far

1927 tables at the end of Thursday play; down from last year by 231½ tables (-10.7%).  Still on a pace to make this a successful year, comparing to last year, when several things combined to create record attendance, is not fair: we're on a pace for well over 3000 tables.

Wednesday-Thursday Gewurtztraminer Bracketed Knockout Teams

Winners: Angus, Yang, Anderson, Patterson, Dewar, Piette, Anthony

We had a wrong winner in bracket one, and the team we had losing went on to win bracket one!  (Let's make sure we report our wins and that the Director is sure which team actually is the winner.)  The Hideous Hog In Training's picks were abysmal, scoring only 11/35 (31.4%) for a weekly total of 45/125 (36%) with more bad news coming in the morning KO...
