Back From DS Tours
Well, last weekend I attended both Nintendo DS connection tours at Miranda and East Gardens Westfields, for the giveaways, game demos, and meeting new MKDS players. But mainly, for competing in the massive Mario Kart competition.
To be the comp champion, you would need to come first in the heat races, first or second place in the semis to make the g.final, and beat everyone else in the grand final. Quite a difficult task,
considering there were over 300 competitors at Miranda alone.
The East Gardens comp for me was a letdown, I came third in the semis thanks to two blue shells in a single race. And coming 2nd at the end, I was overtaken about a millimeter from the finish line to drop down to 3rd place (knocking me out of the comp). I had better luck at the Miranda comp though, finishing in 3rd place in the grand final. Photos for both events are up, and they can be viewed here:

I won't tell you who I am in those photos, but if you've seen me post at certain forums on the net, you'll already know :P. Ah well, at least I earned a position in the final 8 photo, though winning the comp would have been nice :D. Final 8 players at Miranda comp (me included):

Too bad because the unique scoring system did offer a change of pace on the tour, and one of the most amazing second place finishes, ever, when Steve Lowery did the following: Missed 10-foot birdie putt on 18th hole at The INTERNATIONAL which would have given him the win by one over Rich Beem. resorts The article is chalk full of negative comments by TaylorMade about the square design. For those who like to tinker, the SuperQuad could be the driver of choice. Said Tiger: People can say whatever they want.
