Teams are selected based on a rating system using the average score of the most current 10 sets played by each player. Currently, the regulars are Larry, John, Rich and Cyp.

Sunday - January 14, 2007

C-O-O-O-LD was the word this morning. Between shivers suggestions were heard to adjourn to the warm cardio area where a sight to behold was reported to have been spotted. Common sense prevailed and we proceeded to play our Sunday morning tennis.

SALSA TASTING

Bill brought the Hot Salsa from the Safeway Deli. The ratings were as follows:

7.5
7.7
7.8
8.2

Avg. 7.8

TENNIS

Since Bill did not have a rating we spun for partners and the teams were Bill and Rudy versus John and Larry. Rudy and Bill prevailed over John and Larry in two close sets by the identical set scores of 7-5.

Zack injured himself in Saturday tennis yesterday and has now joined Cyp on the injured list.

FIJI STAG 1/7/07

SALSA TASTING

Rudy brought an amended salsa with lots of avocado and tomatoes. However, he forgot to bring the jar so we didn't have any info about the original salsa, except maybe it came from Safeway. The ratings were: 8.0, 8.0, 8.5, 9.0. Average: 8.38.

TENNIS

Rudy and Larry defeated John and Zack 6-2 in the first set, then John and Zack came back and won the second set 7-5. In lieu of a third set, the match was decided by RPS between Rudy and Zack, with Zack's rock winning over Rudy's scissors.
