Easter 2010 Wii Bowling Tournament Recap...

We decided to have another annual Holiday Wii Bowling Tournament this year at our Easter celebration!

I made up a bracket, Steven drew names for placement and since there were 11 people playing we had a bye and a "come back kid"... more on that later.

First Round:

To kick things off- Steven played Chris in the opening game:

Steven- 189
Chris- 159

Next up, Donna and Colin:

Donna- 119

Colin- 179 (with an assist from his Mom, Donna moved forward in tournament play)

The third match was Me vs. Marlene:

Julie- 139
Marlene- 144 (A close game!)

Then, in the final match of the round, Mom took on Tara:

Mom - 183

Tara- 167 *

Second Round:

Marlene vs. Donna to start the second round!

Marlene- 226
Donna- 143 ( well played for your second game ever Aunt D!)

Steven played Mom:

Mom- 171
Steven-169 (VERY CLOSE MATCH!)

Shelly entered the Tournament with a Bye and Larry forfeited to Dad in the first round:

Dad- 154
Shelly- 106

Third Round:

A battle of the Moms to open!

Mom- 168

Marlene- 142

To make things extra exciting and complicated (with 11 starting players) we had a "Come back kid" game. Tara had the highest losing score in Round 1, so she got an opportunity to come back in Round 3:

Tara- 162
Dad- 158 ( Another super close game!)

For all the marbles:

In the Championship Match, Mom vs. Tara:

Mom- 193
Tara- 187

In an ironic twist my Mom defeats Tara for the Championship Title. If you recall, her Mom (Grandma) won the Title at Thanksgiving 2009... So I wonder, does this mean I'll be the next Champion? Only time (and Wii Bowling Skills) will tell!

A big thanks to all the contestants!
