2019-20 EPL: Week 30

Posted on by

I decided to play out all of the 92 games that the EPL has not played.  And I found a nice Excel spreadsheet helper that can track results.

Week 30 results:

Week 30 table:

Only takes a couple-few hours to play a dozen or so matches, so I should be caught up by next week.

Liverpool SHOULD have this all tied up after week 32 at the earliest.  It’s now a matter of seeing where the next 4-5 teams end up, and who gets relegated.

Stay tuned!

Golf: TPC Summerlin

Posted on by

I meant to play a round a couple of weeks back, as a quarantine distraction.

So here we are today:

2020 Quarantine Invitational, from TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada.

I randomly chose 4 golfers from PLAAY’s fictional 2017 Pro National Golfers set.

Results:

Somers and Weber were tied after the 16th, still tied after the 17th, and a birdie on the 18th by Weber gave him the win.

Such excitement!

*golf clap*

Not sure when the next golf match will be, though next month is the second annual John Price Invitational.

Stay tuned!

Strat-O-Matic: ’62 Giants vs. ’54 Giants

Posted on by

I went back to the roots of my recent table top sports hobby, and played a game with Strat-O-Matic Baseball.

PepsiCo Park was originally constructed from inspiration I found online for Strat-O-Matic players’ dice tower/trays, yet I played very few SOM games with this park, after getting into a plethora of other baseball games, most notably Ball Park Baseball.

I had planned to do a mini-replay/project with 6 teams: 4 Giants, 1 Yankees, 1 Mets.

So here is a game with the 1962 Giants against the 1954 Giants.

Final from the Polo Grounds:

A real pitcher’s duel until the bottom of the 8th.  I may have left O’Dell in too long, yeah?

I don’t know how often I’ll play this project, I haven’t even come up with a schedule.

Stay tuned!
