Appendix- how the draw was done

I asked Tighe, Lee, and Malinn to all order the numbers one through eight.  Tighe, as holder, determined whether Lee handled the order of the teams and the matching of those teams.  I used the total points standings for the 'base' order:

Concannon
Curran
DFlam
Malinn
TMac
Brett
Thompson
Nemo

Tighe led off with an odd number, which I had assigned to 'order' (O to O, so to speak).  Lee's numbers were 6, 2, 4, 5, 3, 1, 7, 8.  So I assigned myself 6, Curran 2, and so on, down to Nemo (8). This determined the new order of teams as they would be pulled out of the 'hat' (which Malinn's numbers would represent).

Brett
Curran
TMac
DFlam
Malinn
Concannon
Thompson
Nemo

Malinn's numbers returned 7, 2, 3, 1, 8, 6, 4, 5.  Tighe, as holder, went against the first team out of the hat, so to speak, so he got 7, Thompson.  Lee got #2 out of the hat, Curran.  The next three of TMac, Brett, and Nemo went into the first of the menage-a-cups and the final three in the hat remained to face each other.

Next year I'll just use a hat.
