Turkey Cup #5 was nothing short of legendary. The Potato Mashers squared off against Team Wide and Long, and let’s just say the spuds were served piping hot—mashing their way to victory with a side of gravy confidence.
Captain Kevin and the Potato Mashers came out ahead and earned the 1st place prize, “Gravy on Top”. Team Wide and Long, hit too many wide and long and claimed the “Leftovers” prize. They walked away with their feathers ruffled. Next time, Captain Tracy!!!!
But the real battle? The Best Heckler Award. Normally a prestigious honor, this year it was sabotaged by the weather. Hecklers were too busy shivering to deliver their finest burns. As the sole spectator for many long minutes, the Tournament Director can confidently say it was a chilly 33.5 F degrees out there with the wind chill factor. There was exactly a 33.5% chance the director would need recovery from the 33.5 F degrees of chilliness from the previous evening—and sure enough, the Tournament Director was MIA on the 2nd night.
In a surprise twist, with no other votes for the heckler award, bottled prizes filled with spirits that captured the Turkey Cup ambiance were given to the director (+ a bucket…let’s call it a stainless steel wine bottle cooler). Thank you, players, for your votes.
So, while the Potato Mashers took home the trophy, the director walked away with the bucket of prizes. Wide and Long? They walked away wide, long, and wondering how mashed potatoes stole the show.
And that’s a wrap for Turkey Cup #5.
