ACC Grass Roots Cribbage Club Tournament #33 Summary

There were 11 players this week, decreasing the players per tournament average to 11.879 (–0.027). With three skunks under his belt (2 of them in his final two games), Wayne Morris stormed into first place with a 17/7 scorecard. Carol Witt, determined to earn GRPs every tournament for the rest of the season, met that goal this week with a 14/6 scorecard to secure second place. Adding to her GRP total for the fourth time in her last six tournaments and third tournament in a row, Kelsey Potter found third place with a 13/6 scorecard. Last but not least, Jim Perry finished with a 12/6 scorecard by winning his last four games.

Lucky Wayne had a 20 and a 24-point hand in game 1 (his poor opponent) to start the evening. Although many other players reported multiple opportunities for a 24-pointer, Judy Ross was the only other player to find the right cut card to fulfill the dream.

With this win, Wayne jump frogs over Theo Mattingly for second place and finds himself within eight MRPs of first place in the club. The next three tournaments will be very interesting.
