To open the Fall Season, SGTC members & guests ended the Summer Season with a 2012 Fall Tournament.  Autumn officially began Saturday, September 22, 2012, but the summer temperatures were still with us. 

Despite the warm weather, Mike Lu put together a fun Fall Tournament with approximately 20+ participants. In the first 2 rounds, Mike matched doubles players to play Scramble.  On the last two rounds, Mike set up four players for each court.  Within each court, players played three sets of Scramble, changing partners each set.  Many participants enjoyed this format as it provided an opportunity to play with someone new and to get better acquainted with each other.  Winners, based on the number of games each participant won, were: 

         1^st Place:  Tie:  Nick Proudian & Lily Ng

         2nd Place:  Ben Lu

         3^rd Place:  Tie: Tony Wong & Yoshi Mori

We also welcomed new members Mimi and Sika, guests Austin, Leo and Nobu, and previous member Leslie who recently returned from the Bay Area.

Thanks to many others who chipped in to make it a fun day.  Pizza & chicken wings along with macaroni salad & finger jello were served for lunch.  Coffee, juice, fresh fruit, chips, & cookies provided nourishment in the morning.  Thanks to James Brentzel for picking up the pizzas/chicken wings.  Thanks also to Tony Wong, Anna Gee, Ben Lu, Athena Last, Mike Lu, Nick Proudian for the snacks and drinks. Thanks to everyone for helping to set up & clean up.  Keep cool, everyone!
