Attn. NorCal Residents: weekly RBI league

[ultimate7]

Somehow I don't see this conversation happening much:

Hey did you hear Broiler lost in the RBI tournament

Aright lets go play in it next week

[broiler]

i won it three weeks in a row.  two groups of friends that came different weeks said there was no point in playing in an rbi tournament because i would win it every time.  they pretty much called me a dick for throwing a weekly tournament in a game that i was better than everyone else.  we started strong on week one and participation has gotten worse by the week. 

think what you want frisbee boy, but i have a feeling that yes, when people found out that someone else won, it may give them hope that they could win and maybe give it another shot.


besides, it was either that or just pick another game to play to spark more interest. 

[BeeJay]

Couldn't you just go and be the moderator for a couple weeks, giving other people a chance for the win?  Even Tyler Durden didn't fight every week. 

[JoeDirt]

Plus broiler, in their defense, you are a dick, right?

[broiler]

would a dick purposely lose in order to generate fun for others?

the answer is maybe.

Hey how many people do you have showing up every week for your rbi league?  I live about 2 and a half hours away from the bay area, but I'd show up one of these nights if I thought it worth my while.  I think we oughta get a weekend tournament going though.

[Gantry]

I haven't paid enough attention to this thread, but that's an amazing turnout broiler.  I think we should all start a local "bar league" to generate interest.  I'm gonna ask Potsie about it, maybe a Bumpers RBI tourney on slow nights...

hey gantry, can i say that the tournament is sponsored in part by dee-nee?

Abso-fucking lutely

[lancemeister2006]

Hey absolutely NO chance of ever getting a Friday or Saturday night?  I live just south of Merced and would love to make the trip up...but a weeknight is all but impossible for me...but a weekend is no problem.  I really, really want to make it up there for a tourney though, that's for sure.

[broiler]

the owner lets us do it on tuesday nights because that night is particularly slow for them.  without us it would be virtually empty.  from the start he said no chance of changing nights and now that we have made tuesday nights more profitable for him there is absolutely no chance in changing it.  and besides, i like doing it on tuesday night.  it gives me something to look forward to in the shitty part of the week.

we have had no less than 8 per week with 12 being our highest.  this week i am expecting 12.

[broiler]

an old friend and rbi player just moved back to town today.  tonights tourney will have some stiff competition.

[TbT]

good job broiler.   now there'll be 2 guys clobbering all the competition.  nobody else will want to play for sure.    

[broiler]

actually a my friend bill who hasn't made it except for week 1 will be showing up tonight.  he is good.  week one we drew each other first round and i only beat him by 1 run i think.  and a couple of the guys who have been coming every week are showing improvement.  tonight should be fun

[TbT]

still might be a good idea to have you and your buddy in the same side of the bracket.

in the mid-late 80's, at least the AFC was allowed to send a team to the superbowl.

[JoeDirt]

Please TBT, shut up!

[TbT]

joe dirt.....

1. stop texting me fag.  you know, those do cost me 10 cents each time.
2. were the brownies gonna beat the redskins, or giants in da superbowl?
3. your dog likes me.

[broiler]

man, last night was awesome.  the bar was packed because of the playoffs, but after the game was done we settled in.  12 players, all with game to bring to the table.  the first round was full of upsets.  all the guys who sucked week 1 have developed some skills and are starting to become a threat.  i ended up beating my buddy skislut in the final.  we went with All Stars because thats what we would play in college.  final score 3-2 broiler

[TβG]

sounds like a good turnout.  maybe if this keeps up, i'll have to make a trip up in the spring.  maybe i'll get to see some of your sweet bikes too.

[broiler]

i lost last night.  a tough 2nd round knockout.  4-1 i was minnesota he was detroit.  in all fairness i lost to a good competitor who had to fight through the best players.  we also had a couple of new people last night who were super stoked on playing rbi again.  also, the guy who won has been lurking the rbi board looking for tips.  apparently its paid off

[broiler]

tongiht will be interesting.  the owner of the bar is finally realizing that we are bringing him some business and he started putting up promotional flyers in the bar all week.  it has sparked interest in many.  but most of the regulars are not going to make it tonight.  i am hoping to get some unknown ringers to make it a fun one.

[broiler]

most of the regulars flaked but we had 8 people anyway.  some new faces but none too good at rbi.  the cool thing was that the bar owner gave the winner, me, $20 in credit at the bar.  pretty cool
