A rare evening occured this Saturday, when all five of the Seeger-Olympics competitors were together in one room. While only one event was completed, it was an epic battle, ranging all night and all over the... table.
We played andy's air hockey tournament, with each competitor playing against everyone else. The top two in round 1 (round robin) played for the championship. Joel, Tim & Andy were the early leaders, each beating brooke & jen, but tim was able to defeat both of his brothers (andy 3-0 & joel 3-2) to come out of round 1 as the clear favorite. Joel defeated andy & went on to play the final match against tim (this time, to 10 instead of the 3-point mini-matches we'd played up to this point).
Tim & Joel were neck & neck, pretty well trading points, with joel going up two, then tim tying & going up one, then tying again. It was 6-6, when Tim took over the game, scoring 4 straight points to win the event. Tim comes closer to the overall lead with this rare 5-person event victory. The weigh-out for the Seeger Weight Loss Challenge is tomorrow evening, so another point will be awarded then. Jen is next to select an event & brooke's poetry-writing event was clarified a bit, with the judges being named as David Tillotson, mom/ Hope Seeger, and Eric Friedericks. Shane will receive all the poems (at the due date yet to be determined) and distribute them anonymously to the judges.
In other SeegerOlympic news, joel currently holds a 2-1-0 lead over jen & brooke (respectively) in the 'zerbert' name that tune challenge (played to 3). Joel correctly identified "The Farmer in the Dell" & "How Much is that Doggie in the Window" to take the lead.
Also, Andy won a game of Trivial Pursuit : Millenium Edition, after Joel missed a potentially winning pie-question. Andy won with the correct answer Francoise Mitterand (though he was unable to produce the French leader's first name). Brooke passed out after accruing 4 pies.
