March 30, 1999	Shooter/Big_Red_Biz get whooped by mistress_di/cab_rm59 545 - 204 A huge seasaw battle with S/B initially ahead, then sucking down to -200 and coming up with a big endgame rally to make it look reasonable.
April 6, 1999	Nobody takes Yellowrose's place leaving game in a draw It was going poorly after yellowrose and mistress_di (playing as dixi_chix) both DNed and both were broken. Draw in big_red_biz/dixi_chix vs shooter/yellowrose
April 13, 1999	shooter/(yellowrose-donnie) slowly drain the life out of big_red_biz/(nicmos-mistress_di) 547 - 271 We had great attendance this day, with a full [UNNUMBERED] Flems there: big_red_biz, cab_rm_59, corinneelizabeth, donniepinkston, drunkenewok, evildonut, mistress_di, nicmos, shiner_one (!), shooter6947, and yellowrose. shooter/yellowrose jumped out into an early lead against nicmos/big_red_biz, but faltered midway with the help of an overbag. With the help of a Nil however, and some nice sets shooter/donnie managed to hang on to beat big_red_biz/mistress_di.
April 20, 1999	shooter/yellowrose(with a save by dixichix) take out donniepinkston/cab_rm59 by the score of 557 - 422 With a couple of lively stories (KT on Di's bean burning incident and Biz w/the horny pot ho)this made for an interesting day. Things got started late, but we ended up with good attendance in the end, despite the full zone. We find out that BJ's trailer came unhitched.
April 27, 1999	There was no game this week, just a discussion between friends due to low turnout. It happens :)
May 4, 1999	FIRST GAME biz(as shooter)/mistress_di beat yellowrose/cab_rm59 in the first game 508 - -23. Quick, painless, total. SECOND GAME shooter/mistress_di go down to yellowrose+donnie/cab_rm59 308 - 232ish. A foreshortened game as the second one, but not bad nonetheless. Shooter and Di almost pull off a dual-nil, which would have seriously kicked some bu-tox.
