Playoffs - First Round Recap

Montoya Cup

Scott pummeled me, and Dan did the same to Lisa, keeping both of them alive to steal Lisa's spot in Markinson.

Lisa will be rooting for the top two seeds, Jeremy and Hubert, to take care of business in the next round and lock up her spot.  Jeremy trounced Gina in round 1 and will face Scott next.  And Hubert gets Dan after taking down Andrew.

So Gina and Andrew have been eliminated from contention for next year's Markinson, and the final spot is between Lisa, Scott and Dan.

Dufresne Cup

Nalu had a good week, but he's not quite out of the woods yet.  One spoiler is lurking, and that is Steve, who comfortably knocked out Jason to keep alive his hopes of losing the title "Greatest manager to not make Markinson."  Also "Only manager to not make Markinson."

Steve now goes up against the legend himself, Dean, who pulverized Russell's Millennium Falcons.

Nalu took out maybe the scariest spoiler in Amer, in the process extending his Dufresne record Cup streak to 6.  Next up, Nalu faces upstart champion Vineet, who got by Drew.

Drew, Russell and Amer are out of contention, and the final spot is between Nalu and Steve.

Good luck all!
