Swashbucklers were 1 person short of 3 teams so we managed to convince Ray Snytsheuvel to join up with one team. Of course we immediately had to fence the team with his son on it! Ray was a good sport and went all out, it was a tight competition we were down at one point but caught back up. We were fairly even going into the final bout Aric vs. Snytsheuvel the younger.

Then problems came up, Charles Bronson & Flying Spaghetti Monsters both had 2 members each who were also on an Epee Team, but since the Foil teams hadn't finished and the Epee teams were going to start it was decided that both teams would have to decided and drop out of either one or the other competition. Neither wanted to, so eventually we came up with a quick workaround. We'd do the final bout of the team and consider the score even going into it (which was actually fairly likely). So Aric & Lira fenced to 5-3 for the Foil Team final bout.
Gold for Flying Spaghetti Monsters

Flying Epee Monsters beat MacBean in the early round, and we were doing pretty good, then Chubby Deers (who contained the 2 members of Charles Bronson we 'beat' in foil) pretty much cleaned up the floor with us. We did ok against a team on which all 3 members were B's, Aric actually did well vs Magner, and managed 2 hand touches vs Cordner (and since Cordner has about 2 feet on me hand it the only thing I've got a chance at, that fluke time I beat him he was just having a really bad day)
Then we did the fence off for 3rd vs. Fortune and I lost it to Fernandez in the final bout. Going in it was 37 to 40 and both David & Shayne had gotten more than 5 on Fernandez, but either I couldn't see the openings that they did, or he had noticed and fixed it (he's good enough that he certianly could have, on the other hand I felt really slow) 2 or 3 doubles the final individual score was 4-5 and I 've done a lot better on Fernandez in pools before. ah well.
