1. Dylan Goodwin
2. Peter Bach
3. Ed Priest
4. Gary Anderson
5. Steve Mossbrook
2010 USCA Western Regionals (Day Three)
KIRKLAND, WASHINGTON -- Day three brought beautiful blue skies and temperatures that ranged from cool to pleasantly warm when the sun was able to peak through the scattered clouds. There is no photo gallery today as I played in each slot today. I was also unable to get a photo of the master scoresheet. The only real croquet info I have is the line-ups for first flight elimination play:
Round One - 4/5 Play-in Game
Steve Mossbrook vs Dylan Goodwin
Round Two - Semifinals
Peter Bach vs Gary Anderson
Ed Priest vs Mossbrook/Goodwin winner
First Flight Championship Game
Look for better information tomorrow. I'll have more time after play concludes to make sure I have results.

Morning Coffee: MacRob Drama, Nine-Wicket and the Weeds Mallet
Coffee in the evening? Why not?
The truth is this is only the second team croquet event that I've covered with last December's Solomon Trophy being the first. I think I may be spoiled because that event and this year's MacRobertson Shield have been wildly captivating.
