2007 Independence Invitational (Results)

With apologies to Marc 'Pitbull' LeFort who won his first ever major championship, this tournament was all about 'H.O.F.' . Through just three major tourneys Dan now holds one 3rd place finish and two 1st place victories, all with different partners. He is the Barry Bonds of Meriden Beer Die, not playing in every major, but when he does he is clearly the most feared competitor. He and the Pitbull made mince meat of the competition this year, going 4-0 and winning the 07' Independence Invitational in a record setting time of less than two hours. This is the single most dominant performance by any team in the history of our sport. Congratulations to the champs!

1st Place -- D M & Marc L

2nd Place -- Joey Annino & Mif Lumbra
3rd Place -- Jamie Jones & Pablo Valentin

The surprise of the tournament was undoubtedly Joey and MIF. This odd pairing lost their first game before reeling off four straight victories including a redemption game against eventual third place finishers JJ and Pablo. El Nino was nothing less than extraordinary offensively as he came within two sinks of JJ's record nine in one tournament. He might have been just as solid defensively earning the nickname 'Velcro' as he time and again snatched the die from would be points. Maynard now has his first ever top three finish without JJ as his partner and in doing so catapulted himself into the third spot on the all time points list...
