First Month of Super-Selfie League is a Success!

Thanks to everyone who participated in the qualifying and finals night for our first month of Super-Selfie League. We had 9 players participate across the month, and 8 show up for finals allowing us to have a full A & B division last night.

In A-Division, Matt Peace had game selections and started us out on one of his favorites in Twilight Zone. Thanks to a bit of luck on ball 2 Tommy Skinner was able to knock in two jackpots and sneak out a victory with Tom Vandenberg close behind in 2nd, Matt coming in 3rd, and Keith Alyea rounding out 4th. Matt next picked Monopoly where again the finishing order remained the same leaving Tommy with 8 points, Tom with 4, Matt with 2, and Keith with 0 heading into the final game of the night Theatre of Magic. Matt blew away the competition putting up over a billion on Theatre of Magic while the other three players struggled to make contact with the ball at all, Tom coming in 2nd, Tommy in 3rd, and Keith in 4th. The results for A-Division were Tommy with 9 Points, Matt with 6, Tom with 6, and Keith with 0. A one game playoff was completed between Matt and Tom to break the tie with Matt coming out victorious.

In B-Division, Dan St. John had won the honors of “driving the bus” and started the group out on Creature from the Black Lagoon for the first game. Daniel Isaacson finishing in first, Craig Farner in 2nd, Dan 3rd, and Ron Languell in 4th. Dan’s next game selection was Theatre of Magic where he managed a 1st place finish, trailed closely by Craig in 2nd, Daniel in 3rd, and Rob coming up 4th. Heading into the final game of the night “The Dans” sat tied at 5 points each with Craig right behind them at 4 points so it was anyone’s to win. Twilight Zone was St. John’s choice of battlefield and a good choice it was as he was able to finish the night out on top with another 1st place finish, Craig remaining consistent in 2nd, Rob bumping himself into 3rd, and Daniel closing out with a 4th place finish. The results for B-Division were Dan St. John with 9 points, Craig with 6 points, Daniel Isaacson with 5, and Ron with 1.
