Since everyone knows how to play Euchre, and I mean literally everyone, we decided since it was our last night that we would hold a Euchre tournament. During some down time, Brett and I figured out what the bracket system would be. We ranked everyone based on skill, experience, and a little bit of randomness. Knowledgeable, experienced players were paired up with new people and average players were paired together. Then we figured out a bracket setup and drew it on a piece of paper. Since everyone loves the games, it was basically heaven. There were times when we paused our game to go watch another game just because we love to watch it. We even taught the people at IHC to play and got some of them hooked.
As we started playing the games it was me and Brooklyn. I honestly didn't think we would go too far. Brett calls trump on absolutely nothing and usually gets away with it--it's so annoying. It was single game elimination, and Brooklyn and I kept on winning. We made it to the championship round which is best 2 of 3. We took game one fairly closely. Then during game two Ryan and Emma almost pushed it to a game three but didn't get all the tricks in a loner hand which would have won the game. Eventually Brooklyn and I were able to euchre them and won and it was really cool. I honestly think if I were to face Mrs. Hansen, we would have lost because she is like my kryptonite.
Playing my favorite card game with my best friends is awesome. I'm going to get zero sleep tonight but that's not what's important. Fellowship is key. All under God's authority.
