Well, the tournament has come to a close. Yesterday we beat Chinese Taipei in 3. This team upset quite a few top teams and played five gamers with others. Today we beat Turkey in four. We finished strong although we only placed 9th. That was a lot lower than our expectations but we at least were able to pull together and finish the best position given the circumstances.

Tomorrow 2006 USA National team will part ways. Some will travel back to Colorado Springs then drive or flight the next day to their home towns and other of us will part ways from San Fran… From there will travel back to Baton Rouge to see my family for a quick visit while preparing to go to play my next season in Brazil. I’ve got lots to do with only a short time to do it. I’d better start making my list. I will update my schedule as soon as the federation post it.

Take Care,

Danielle
