McQuigg thinks it over

That's the thing about the deadness board -- you have to watch it all the time.

Bill Berg (L) took second in the Gold Division. MCA President Dylan Goodwin presents.

Taylor Airrington won the Gold Division round-robin with a 3-1 record.

Diane Berg was awarded the Silver Division medal as the only true Silver player to sign up for the event. She took one for the team by "playing up" to round out the division, despite having minimal experience with deadness.

Matt Baird (L) took second place in the Pro Division. Because his trophy stein had a chip, he was also awarded real cool croquet-themed serving tray, salt and pepper shaker set and decorative mini-mallet donated by Art and Barbara Parsells.
