STAG 7/23/2006

Bob F. subbed for Zack today.

SALSA TASTING

Larry brought Jardines Prairie Peach Salsa - medium. This was a nonstandard tasting event since John brought Trader Joes Pita Chips with sea salt instead of the required unflavored tortilla chip. The ratings were 7.5, 7.5, 7.5, 7.7 avg. 7.5. One of the ratings also had the following comment written on it, "slightly sweet, which could have been caused by non-compliant chips".

The bird did not show up today. Probably too hot for them.

TENNIS

On a very hot day John/Larry won both sets from Cyp/Bob F. 6-1, 6-3.

FIJI STAGED 7/16/06

Donna subbed for Cyp. Now she has a rating and she has been added to our sub list.

SALSA TASTING

Zack brought Ortega Thick and Chunky from Safeway.
The ratings were 7.9, 7.5, 6.5, 5. Average: 6.7

Although the ratings were by secret vote, we kinda figured out where the '5' came from. Right, Donna?

The Bird gave it a solid '5'. This bird is getting to know the group. He always shows up around 1130 on Sunday to participate in the salsa tasting.

TENNIS
Zack and John Defeated Larry and Donna 6-4, 6-2. We played a third set tie-breaker JFTHOI with Larry and Donna winning 10-8.

On a beautiful sunny Sunday morning the STAG group met to play tennis at 9 AM. Rich was again subbing for Zack this week. Using the rating system Rich and Larry took on John and Cyp. Rich and Larry were able to subdue their opponents 6 - 2, 6 - 1. The losers consoled themselves with some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

MONDAY, JULY 3, 2006

STAG 7/2/2006

STAG resumed yesterday after a 3 week hiatus due to the 3.5 team league matches. The morning started out a little dreary with overcast skies and gusty wind conditions. Rich subbed for Zack. Unfortunately, the day did not get any better for John and Larry as they lost to Cyp and Rich 6 - 3, 6 - 4. The losers consoled themselves with some good Beck's beer that Cyp brought.

SALSA TASTING

John brought Albertsons Picante sauce - medium for the salsa tasting. The ratings were 7.0, 7.5, 7.9, and 8.0 with an average of 7.6.

TENNIS RATING

The tennis ratings will not be published today since Zack has the database on this. A suggestion on breaking a tie between 2 players' ratings is to use 11 or 12 set scores, whatever is needed to break the tie. Yesterday, both Cyp and Larry had the same rating.
