Each player can still get 3 more points tomorrow max, so this lists the top player for each side and anyone on that team within 3 of that top player.

These are my tabulations. Not official, but at least triple-checked:

9.5 @mchepp (West)

8.5 @SavvySwede (East)

8.5 @jbishop15 (East)

7.0 @Big C (West)

7.0 @jamo (East)

6.5 @saevel25 (East)

5.5 @DaveP043 (East)

I'm still looking pretty good with my prediction of an East win and SavvySwede as the MVP. I just need the West to gain a few points on the East to make it a closer match. Good luck to all players tomorrow.

S, spoken = (s)lander. Either way, the internet rumor mill will make it true!

In case you missed prior days, here is a brief re-cap.

As the sun rises in Phoenix, the ragtag bunch from East of the Mississippi is feeling confident, but not overconfident. @mvmac is doing his best Crenshaw imitation, but since there was no press conference and it was at breakfast, most of his team failed to hear his motivational speech.

The East opened up a narrow 1 point lead on Day 1. While the West tried to lull the East into complacency by sending out @mchepp with torture-like sleep deprivation, the ploy worked to perfection as he garnered top points for the day. The well-rounded East sent out their Jeckyll and Hyde team of @SavvySwede / @jbishop15 , whom @iacas forced to stay together as punishment for their Match 1 performance. The tactic worked as they have rebounded to the top of the East point getters.

Day 2 saw the East widen their lead to 5. Although the details of each match are still sketchy, because a shooter in the area is preventing them from letting us know what is really going on there.  But some random highlights/lowlights that we can decipher through the haze on Twitter include (I may be misinterpreting some things, or mixing different events together, my apologies):

Here @kpaulhus tries to hit a draw up and around to the right of this fence. "I don't play cuts" he was heard to mutter.

Here @iacas is shocked by a ruling on the course regarding the proper pluralization of "brontosaurus" after Barney claims he was away (14 brontosauruses to his competitor's 13).

Our first scoreboard for the day is below. New larger fonts for those trying to view it from the course in the bright Arizona sun.  I promise not to mess with you during the round by giving phony scores.  Play well, gentlemen. 27.5 for the victory!

      Board Games

      By JasonMadderson ·

      When I'm winding down and need to clear my head, spider solitaire online is my go-to—it's surprisingly soothing and helps me focus. If you're up for exploring more games, Gloomhaven offers an epic adventure with its campaign-style gameplay and deep tactical choices. Azul is perfect for its beautiful design and engaging tile-drafting mechanics. It's great to see board games evolving with such diverse themes and mechanics.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Hardspoon ·

      I voted "Decent Weather Golfer". I was going to describe my general rules...but then @saevel25 did it for me so I'll just copy his, with one addition: Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end).  Below 90 degrees. Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By saevel25 ·

      Ok, I didn't read the question at all, lol. So, to answer this thread correctly.  Temp: Above 45 degrees (pending wind at the low end). Weather: On and off rain, I am ok. I may not go out by myself, but I am not skipping a tee time if the weather is just meh. T-storms, or torrential downpour, then it will be a game time decision. Snow is out. I will never play golf when it is that cold out.  The closest one might be "All Weather" then ;).

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By Zeph ·

      All weather, but very rarely if it’s pouring. Some rain is fine. Wind is a more no-go than rain. Especially wind and rain. I’d rather play in cool light drizzle than 80° F+ and sunny. My body is not designed for hot weather. My perfect conditions are 60-70° F and cloud cover. If it’s a bit nippy I can wear more clothes. I can only remove so much clothes if it’s 75+ and still get too hot. Warm and cloudy can work too.
