Posted by Anthony Del Col, December 13, 2010 – 9:58 am

Well, Friday’s match-up provided a small upset.  Juliet defeated Caliban, contrary to a lot of early tournament predictions by individuals.  She will next square off against Prospero in the semi-finals (later this week).

Well, we had a small upset in Friday’s showdown… Despite the predictions by many that Coriolanus would cruise to a victory and, in fact, possibly go all the way, the general was bested by that old fool, Falstaff.  It was a very close battle and the fool won by one vote. Continuing first round action, […]
