Brief Log Jam Results, Koob as Bye Pastime

A teammate of mine is theoretically doing a thorough writeup, which I hope to blatantly steal and post here. Real quick though, we got rained on yet again. 4 out of 5 wet tournies since '05 Regionals. We lost in the semis to PoNY. If they went on to beat New Noise (and it was looking that way early on) that makes us 3-for-3 in semis exits against the eventual champs this year. Kinda a dubious honor, but not too shabby for a masters team running against youngsters, and it feels like we keep getting better with age. Anyway, hopefully more to follow.

On a more leisurely note, one of my teammates broke out Köob during our bye. I was only spectating, unfortunately, but it looked like a blast. Think Bocce, but much more interesting (IMO), and suitable to a much broader range of surfaces (you can play Köob on rough terrain, sand, etc. while Bocce is really only any good on a nice court). I'm predisposed to like the Italian goods, but the I gotta give this one to the Swedes hands-down. The quality of the components is excellent (I'm pretty sure that link goes to the same set my teammate has, but I'm not 100% positive). Definitely need to pick up a set before our next vacation.
