Charleston W

Slightly weaker tourney in Charleston due to Casey-Matt and Rosie-Gibb being in Prague. Which if you did not already know, Rosie-Gibb won. Congrats to them. We won as well but in Charleston.

In the process we did not lose a game. We had a bye first round and then played Mihalic and Davenport. Beat them in the Thursday night game in 2 games respectively. Then played a very dangerous and good team in Wong-Olsen. Before the season I thought this would be a very good pairing. They have played teams tough but had not gotten over the hump until this tourney. We won in 2 like 16 and 17 or so but they continued through the losers and took a 3rd eventually losing in the crossover semis to us.

In our winners semi match we played Scott and Lucena. Felt good and played well. Won in 2 games. We were more consistant than them and that was pretty much the difference in the game. In the crossover we played Wong and Olsen again. The first game was tight as I was struggling a bit. We won 23-21. Second game we won 17 I think. Played better that game.

In the finals we played Mark Williams and Stein. First game was close and very good we pulled it out 21-19 but had been down 18-19. Second game was not so close. Congrats to Mark who made his first AVP Final. I am sure there will be many more in his future. Will blog from Italy next.
