Bottom Feeders 2018-19: Just So You Know, They Really Suck

Re: Bottom Feeders 2018-19: Just So You Know, They Really Suck

I received word from the Skating Club in Wilmington, DE. The carbon monoxide detector had been beeping all night, so they took the batteries out.

Also, to prevent another "Elba," we are limiting attendance to tournament officials, the locals we hired to be refs, and Guy Fieri.

just a thought for future tournaments. when we were in a hotel room and the fire alarm went off repeatedly, the mister would spray shaving cream into it. worked. might be more time efficient that removing the whole detector.

They just took the batteries out. When they called, I requested they leave the batteries out.

There will also be no Zamboni for these games. These teams suck, right... so no gift of good ice. If the ice is rutted, ice shavings pile up, etc... TOUGH BOOBIES.

As we all know, there's no rush on results.

Got a call from Cloudcroft, NM. They loved hosting the NoWinS tournament, and would like to be considered again.
 
Guten Tag. I've been lazy following this thread. Now that Tech has made the Frozen Feeders, I'm trying to get up to date. Is that Odessa Texas or Odessa on the Black Sea in Russia or the Ukraine? If so I think we have badly heightened our standards by holding tournaments overseas.

In the interest of accuracy, this tournament has an international component in the Point Roberts regional. But rest assured that will be a drawback rather than an advantage.

Addressing MissThundercat - when does the tournament open for business? The Point Roberts organizing committee is anxious to get back to fishing and wants to play ASAP while the weather is still unfavorable for hockey.

This weekend's okay. I told the regional sites start play any time you want. Per long standing tradition, we're going to wait a bit for the results to come back to us... Chester the carrier pigeon has been assigned to Point Roberts.

Chester has arrived at Point Roberts, but was detained at the border after mistakenly flying through Canadian airspace. Officials expressed hope that he would be released to organizing committee representatives in the next 4-8 hours.

Summit of Mt Washington is getting buried by another major snowstorm this weekend. Even Marty the Cat is hunkered down in his Observatory bed, stockpiling some zzzzz's for when rhe weather improves for game on (note, just improves, as opposed to blue skies).

Tell Marty we need him to wake up. Nina, my carrier pigeon to Mt. Washington, tells me the teams have arrived and have been given their first Sack of Mystery Meat and Produce for the weekend. And yes, accommodations are hella uncomfortable. Our goal was back pain for everyone!

Chester has been released to the American side of things. We have a perch for him there and someone to give messages to him as the weekend wears on.

We can wait on results, but teams can start play whenever.

I don't want to say too much, but Donna carrier pigeon has started arriving from Laurium, MI with results.

Snively has told me Mt Washington organizers can't wait much longer, and will start play tomorrow. Nina will bring results in due time.

Fade, any news out of Odessa?

Sorry to report this but WMUR out of Manchvegas has reported that several large raptors from the '1st annual Great Berlin Raptor Festval' latched onto an unsuspecting pigeon and shred it and some papers it was carrying. I suspect any reporting out of Mount Washington will be delayed.

On other news, the 'Yellow line' had been introduced into the rink thanks to two dehydrated Canadians fleeing tyranny up north!
