| | This match was Forfeit by Two Putz, who are now |
| | on Double-Secret Probation until the reason for |
| | forfeiture is determined. (BTW, these game |
| | comments serve not only to highlight the results |
| | each week, but also to share information among |
| | league members in a new and growing league.) The |
| | league has the dimmest possible view of |
| | forfeiture. The entire purpose of 3-person |
| | rosters, unlimited non-rostered substitutions, |
| | and no postponements without permission is to |
| | insure the future of the league by preserving its |
| | essential element--the camaraderie of the group. |
| | A team that causes unwarranted forfeiture twice |
| | cannot continue in the league. Warranted forfeits |
| | might be: entire roster kidnapped by aliens and |
| | groped repeatedly, or team trapped in vehicle, |
| | unable to dial cell phone after running into a |
| | herd of moose on the way to match. In other |
| | words: no-call, no-show is not acceptable. |

| | holes outright, costing them the match. Local |

| | This was the famous (or imfamous) Anniversary |
| | Match. While the league pled innocent to the |
| | charge of callous disregard leveled by one of the |
| | principals in the Elftmann Anniversary, the match |
| | was all square after nine holes. And, a surprise |
| | to the participants, also all square after the |
| | first extra hole. Clubs were retrieved from |
| | vehicles and two more extra holes were played |
| | before the other principal in the Elftmann |
| | Anniversary decided to postpone the match before |
| | being forced to change his location on the choir |
| | riser. Ultimately, the match was decided on the |
| | fourth extra hole after the third start of the |
| | match in favor of Mor, Peter, & the Wolf (W. |
| | Holzem, Anniversary Boy Elftmann). |

| | Temporarily named Still Thinking because they |
| | were, um, still thinking, they ultimately |
| | selected the name No Longer Thinking which the |
| | TSL erroneously published as Done Thinking. As No |
| | Longer Thinking is clearly more clever than the |
| | dumbed-down Done Thinking, TSL apologizes for the |
| | error which potentially allowed some teams to |
| | form an opinion that the Thinkers suffer, |
| | perhaps, from CDD or Cleverness Deficit Disorder, |
| | which couldn't be further from the truth. Done |
| | Thinking (B. Schindler, D. Schindler) prevailed |
| | 4-2, in a cleverly played match, over Pocket Aces |
| | (Ryan, Bullock). Now that our apology is complete |
| | to the Team Formerly Known As Still Thinking, No |
| | Longer Thinking, who were never Done Thinking, |
| | please don't bother me, I'm still thinking about |
| | this... |
