klockdoc,
Got to that point Monday. Looked at the potential downfall of winning a match that would move me to the Advanced group. Actually didn't think of dumping. Just wanted to win. Tuesday morning the same situation occurred when I played the match for 7/8. Honestly did question whether or not I wanted a second visit to the Masters group. Once that match was history, found winning the Open became my only goal. Almost got there. Lost 5/4. Not sure if I'd have beaten either of the guys from Taiwan. It would have been interesting though!
The only people who questioned my finish were my Open teammates. They, like you, saw my participation in our team ending. Should I have dumped? Not a chance. May never have the opportunity again. I'll be back at 68 years young next year. Hope to have the honor to be the oldest active Master player! Already have an Advanced Team lined up. Anyone for Master Scotch Doubles?????

68 !?! And the babes are still chasing ya. Or is it the other way around.
But, then there was the old man who used to sit on his porch everyday.
On this particular day, while he was sitting on the porch, he sees this young boy approaching.
The old man says, "What do have there, boy?"
The boy says, "Chicken wire."
The old man says, "What are you going to do with chicken wire?"
The boy says, "I'm going to catch me some chickens!"
The old man says, "You can't catch chickens with chicken wire."
The boy says, "You watch."
About an hour goes by and here comes the boy dragging the chicken wire full of chickens.
The next day, the old man is sitting on the porch when he sees the boy again.
The old man says, "What do have there, boy?"
The boy says, "Duck tape."
The old man says, "What are you going to do with duct tape?"
The boy says, "I'm going to catch me some ducks!"
The old man says, "You can't catch ducks with duct tape."
The boy says, "You watch."
About an hour goes by and here comes the boy dragging the duct tape full of ducks.
The next day, the old man is sitting on the porch and here comes the boy.
The old man says, "What are you going to do with that stick, boy?"
The boy says, "This isn't any ordinary stick."
The old man says, "What do you mean?"
The boy says, "This here is pussy willow!"
The old man says, "Hold on, let me get my hat."
Nice shootin' Cardiac Kid !!!
