“A well-played offensive and defensive game by my opponent. My dp tried and tried to reduce the elves numbers but just couldn't get anything but ko's - and I am always too concerned with placement to get the assists i really need to foul effectively.

This game should have gone to overtime, but I completely lost my mind on my turn 7 (I blame my wife - talking to me about reserving hotel rooms while i'm coaching...jeesh). I had planned to try and form a cage to the right of the bunch but my rerolled blitz failed to generate a knockdown and an open lane. So I settled my ballcarrier up in the front of the cage with hopes of breaking out to score on the final turn. Unfortunately, I misses a guard in the area and a 2-die worked the ball free and it popped outside my box. Easy score for the elves.

Why didn't I just settle for overtime??? Ah well, another lesson I won't soon forget.”
