Robin's Merry Little Men and Ladies
During WBC 2000, 14 junior outlaws left the campfire
in Sherwood Forest and set off to rob gold from the rich to give
to the poor. We kept our successful format from last year: three
1-hour rounds were held with the total scores from the first
two rounds used to select the five participants in the single
elimination final. Winner of preliminary round games included
Erica Kirchner (twice), Patrick Crowe, Alex Henning, Natalie
Beach and her brother Matthew. The five finalists based on total
gold accumulation in these two rounds were Matthew Beach (29
gold in one game), Erica Kirchner (23), Alex Price (15), Michelle
Arnold (12), and Ted Simmons (10). The final was extremely close,
with four of the five players within three gold on the final
turn. Matthew Beach's lead of 10 to 9 over Ted Simmons was put
to the test when Ted used his five merry men to rob a nobleman
on the forest road on the final turn. All Ted needed was one
sword card to earn two gold and take the lead. However four of
the five cards were missing that elusive sword -- only on the
last card did Ted prevail over Matthew by a single gold coin!
Congratulations to all our players, who were all terrific sports.
Special congratulations go to Erica Kirchner (our
sportsmanship nominee) who
didn't grumble a bit about finishing in third place for a third
time in the Robin Hood event.
