The 8th Young Chelsea Skat Tournament

The eighth Young Chelsea Synchron-Skat Tournament was held on Sunday October 25th 2009.

There were 21 people for the first session. Patrick Phair turned up for the second session and a 4 player table was added, the organiser Mike Tobias dropped out in session 4.

24 boards were played in session 1, and 18 in the rest, with the 4 player table playing 24 in sessions 2 and 3.

There were 7 prizes:

  1. Highest total points. Uwe 2631
  2. Highest net wins, Uwe 28
  3. Highest session score. John 956 (from 18 boards, beating Uwe's 1164 from 24 boards in session 1)
  4. Highest net wins for one session, John 9
  5. Hand won against the most matadors. John (without 10)
  6. Highest winning hand score. Jackie 168
  7. Most enemy games defeated. Joe 17

As no-one was to take away more than 2 prizes, Oliver Pogrzeba's 2nd place score of 2594  stood out as the most deserving, and he took the last prize.

Wooden spoonists were Martin Procter with the lowest score and Niamh with fewest net wins. Their consolation is that the biggest contributor to Martin's score was a grand Hand with 4  schneider announced which went off; had it won he would have earned the highest hand award, and Niamh was in clear second place in the enemy defeats section, only 1 behind Joe.

Returned to Skat CA,DA. Game Hearts

Forehand led a diamond to John's T, he then played the club T and the A,T of spades. They all carried giving him enough points. Interestingly, the game also would have made if played from the hand.
