Alex's reign at the Turkey Classic continues

Great 5th edition of the Turkey Classic at the Batacchi grounds, as tradition full of great games and competition with friendship and fun.

The format was a round robin with home and away games between the six players competing: Alex Batacchi, Isabel Batacchi, Sandro Tarozzi, Jody Schaaf, Joey Balmer, Josh Knight.

1. Josh - Alex 0-4 / Isabel - Joey 0-2 / Jody - Sandro 4-0 /
2. Joey - Alex 0-1 / Sandro - Josh 2-0 / Isabel - Jody 0-1 /
3. Alex - Sandro 4-0 / Josh - Isabel 0-4 / Jody - Joey 1-1 /
4. Alex - Jody 3-0 / Sandro-Isabel 0-0 / Josh - Joey 1-4 /
5. Isabel - Alex 0-2 / Joey - Sandro 0-0 / Jody - Josh 4-0 /
   

The first whole round of games saw Alex leading the field with 15 points, followed by Jody with 10, then Joey 8, Sandro 5, Isabel 4 and Josh 0.

Jody and Joey returned to the competition after last year Turkey, but they showed good form, Isabel did not start very well, while Sandro had his worst of Subbuteo days and newcomer Josh impressed everybody for his touch [ if he will keep on playing will become a serious contender].
All the games were quite tight and full of adrenaline, after a good pizza lunch the second whole round was played:

1. Alex - Josh 4-0 / Sandro - Jody 0-1 / Joey - Isabel 0-2 /
2. Alex - Joey 3-0 / Josh - Sandro 0-3 / Jody - Isabel 0-2 /
3. Sandro - Alex 0-4 / Isabel - Josh 1-0 / Joey - Jody 0-0 /
4. Jody - Alex 0-4 / Isabel - Sandro 3-0 / Joey - Josh 2-1 /
5. Alex - Isabel 3-0 / Sandro - Joey 1-1 / Josh - Jody 1-3 /

Incredible comeback for Isabel in the partial round with 12 points giving up only one game to Alex that topped with 15 points, then Jody 7, Joey 5, Sandro 4 and Josh 0, but scoring his first goals in an A.S.A event.

For the fouth edition in a row Alex lifted the Turkey Classic trophy, Jody was runner up and Isabel fantastic third.

Most important all the participants had a good time and fun, even though it was a serious competition and hopefully we will see everybody next year for the 6th edition of this traditionally fantastic Turkey Classic.
