In Response To: Best of Luck in Baltimore (Phil Simborg)

Better words have never been "chosed".

I remember when I had never won an ABT event. I went to a tournament in New Jersey. I was sitting a couple seats down from a guy named Neil... When I got up, he looked up and said: One down? I nodded in agreement.

Neil went on to lose that first match of his, and went straight into the losers bracket. I eventually became the undefeated finalist. Neil survived the maximum sentence of being forced into the losers bracket... and met me in the finals.

That year, Neil set a record with 55 ABT points. A record that he has extended twice since, and once when he chosed to beat poor Phil Simborg in 2005. I think there are probably like 3 OTHER stories of guys Neil beat in a year he eventually was the ABT champion.
