An absolute huge thank you to Riley Scherer and Dobo's Delights Bake Shoppe for sending over some amazing Hungarian baked goods. These were incredible. My favorite was the Linzer followed closely by the Zserbo. But the Kifli and Hayas were delicious as well!

Do yourself a favor and check them out if you are near Piqua, OH. Or go to dobosdelights.com and get it shipped to wherever you are! I can confidently attest to their quality.

Thank you again Riley and Dobo's Delights,
Adam

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Bracket Challenge. I hope it was a fun way to interact a bit more for those not in the tournament. Congratulations to Bryan Nash for being the top scorer in the Bracket Challenge. I'm excited to see you take on our new reigning champ in next year's tournament!

***Tournament Update***

Things are getting serious as we've now gotten through the Elite 8 round of the 2024 TTT Tourney. Some great matches, and we certainly have two amazing semifinals matchups headed your way!

Also, in the tournament challenge pick-em, Bryan Nash is on top, but now he's sharing the peak with David Kantorski! But hold up, Josh North now has the highest potential points possible. So we'll have to see how things turn out to find who will win and go into the 2025 tournament as the 16 seed!

***Tournament Update***

Round One action has concluded and we know our Elite 8! Hard-fought battles for sure.

For our Bracket Challenge, Bryan Nash has taken the lead. But his horse to win it all has been eliminated by the bracket-busting Adam Wendell.

Drew Buxbaum has the greatest potential for points with his picks, but we'll have to see how the rest of the tournament goes!

Play-in Rounds are done, and the tournament is set!!!

This year we thought it'd be fun to make the tournament more interactive for everyone who didn't make it to the Round of 16. This year, we will be running a 2023 TTT Tournament Pick'Em for anyone who might want bet on who they think will win it all this year. For anyone who wants to participate, send $10 to Adam (venmo: Adam-Speas, paypal: deathbyavid). Pick the players you expect to move forward in the tournament, and the top three points scorers will get a piece of the prize pool. 1st Place = 50%, 2nd = 35%, 3rd = 15%. Scoring will go as follows: Round of 16 = 1pt each, Kuato-Finals = 2pts each, Semmi-Finals = 4pts each, Teddy DuChampionship = 8pts. Ties will split that prize pool(s). Seeds were determined by performance in previous tournaments, and then mostly random for newcomers. No one in the Tournament is eligible for the prize pool.

Good luck to all
