SuGu stub out the Sutta Boys

In a highly one-sided affair, SuGu steamrolled the Sutta Boys 29-1(!?), in a match that had 3 of the 4 players in varying states of intoxication.

SuGu took the lead 1-0, and then went on to improve the lead 8-0, 15-0, before the Boys woke up to steal the next one to make it 15-1. But that was as far as it went, with the SuGu team taking the next to make it 16-1, and the next one to take an unassailable lead of 25-1. Two boards later, it was all over, as SuGu marched home to victory, while BassFufy still sat, wondering what had just happened to the match. The entire match witnessed the crowd that had gathered trying to sledge Gu mercilessly, taunting him about his GREing skills. Gu did make a comeback of sorts, taunting MiddleAgeFufy about his trip with the Replete pal(my a**!!) to a movie(with the unwanted CONdomFufy tagging along). This proved ineffective however, as Gu played brilliantly at crucial stages, something that can definitely not be said about UppiFufy, who caved in when he had a brilliant chance to salvage the game for the Boys. In the end, SuGu prevailed, and look forward to their next, against the Master-Baiters....

TieOnTees send the Gandhis marching

The TieOnTies beat NITK-Gandhis 29-24 in a match that saw Greater Gandhi in brilliant form.
Though the Gandhis made a brilliant comeback from a 21-0 situation to bring the score to 21-24, they could not bear the merciless shots of Beemboy who took the game away from them.
Though the match did not witness characteristic Beemers from Beemboy, some of the shots were simply stunning and had the Gandhi twins squinting through their spectacles. The match also witnessed true FuFy spirit with the four Fufites tackling the power-cuts with emergency-lamps and candles ( which ConFufy greatly disapproved fearing his comp would blow up - yet again ) .

Quotable quotes:
Beemboy : "We need a Duckworth-Lewis method equivalent for carom man ."

Player of the match: Greater Gandhi for guiding his team to a brilliant comeback.

Master-Baiters gain bonus point

In a match that witnessed one of the worst boards in carrom history,Master-Baiters won against Kundi Shot 29-0 thus gaining a bonus point. The individual boards were extremely close, and the scoreline was cruel on Kundi Shot, who played fairly well. Fat-Fufy was back in form with some coins taking the aerial route to the pouch. Master-Baiters are now top of the league having won all of their games so far.

Highlights:

1. Fat-Fufy playing the best shot of the game in pocketing the queen and then missing a sitter next to the pouch.
2. The worst board ever played,which stretched for 25 minutes,and was burnt by Fat-Fufy.

Player of the Match:

Middle-Age Fufy,who was awesome at the beginning.

'Aetello' scrapes home in a thriller!

"Aetello",playing after a long hiatus in which Bitch-FuFy suffered from bed sores and Con-FuFy did justice to his Bling-FuFy image,managed to edge Sutta Boys in a match which witnessed carrom at its best.

Let the scores do the talking for a bit:
0-6,8-6,8-15,15-15,15-17,25-17-25-23,26-23,26-25,27-25,27-26,28-26,28-27,29-27(Phew!)

DumBass-FuFy was in vintage form pocketing coins with consummate ease. No one was more stunned by DumBass-FuFy's form than himself with several moments wasted in DumBass marvelling at his own genius. So much so that by the end of the game DumBass was mapping the contours of the board in his perpetual quest for perfection. Reminded one of Anika Sorenstam almost!

Burns were the order of the day with 2 boards burnt by DumBass and Bitch at crucial junctures. Bitch almost burnt down his own house by very nearly gifting a victory to Sutta Boys in an attempt to clear the board.

With each board taking an average of 25 minutes or thereabouts a sizeable crowd had gathered by the time the match neared its conclusion. Meanwhile,Fat-FuFy was doing some Kannada Rajyotsava special DJing(lustily singing along as well,much to the amusement of the junta) .

In the end,Con-FuFy held his nerve to finish the game and keep alive their hopes of reaching the semis.

MoM: DumBass for his awesome shot-making under duress.
