This was the Huckers tournament of the decade. A tournament that spanned multiple days and set new levels of play. One player even earned a new nickname. It was a serious battle royale for the trophy and Grandad's ashes.
The Players: Grandad Bryan, Tiffany, Corin, Michael.
Game 1: Won by Michael (blue).
Game 2: Won by Corin (red). Due the the amount of knocking offs this was recorded as a long game.
It was already late in the night and all players were tired. It was agreed play would be suspended and carried over to the following evening.
Due to the lateness of play, it was again agreed the tournament would be suspended another day.
Game 4: Won by Tiffany (blue). Another incredibly intense game. Corin only needed to roll a one to win the game and tournament. Four turns of rolling and and he was not successful. This allowed Tiffany to get her final piece home and roll for the win.
Game 5: Won by Tiffany (green). A brief and straightforward game for the tournament decider. Tiffany only had one piece knocked off and managed to keep all her pieces together until the home run.

Great result Tiff.
I am however a little disappointed that the trophy is looking a little bit the worse for wear. It needs some silver polish to bring that gleam back to something you are proud to lift high. After all you didn't see Rafa lifting a dull, tarnished Norman Brooks Challenge Cup did you when he won the Australian Open?
Huckers Tournaments and Grandad's Ashes are just as prestigious.
Come on and shine.
