Bughouse
Today was the bughouse "tournament" in chess camp.
For the first half of the day, Ping-Pong, we had an ok time. At the start, we played a Ping-Pong game that we made up - "Foursquare". We played for 1 3/4 hours, when it was usually time for a ping-pong tournament with medals for prizes. Instead, we did a really dumb "toss the ball into the can" game. There was a 5-point, 2-point, and 1-point bottle and I got 6 points out of the 5 balls I got. The first person in line got 7 balls, the second got 6, and the rest got 5. But we were supposed to base the order of our line on the people who were the best or worst in the tournament - but we didn't do a tournament.So we were totally in a random order and so Jeffrey and another person (who just wedged into our group when we were lining up) got the extra balls. That was UNFAIR. Then some people cheated and got tons of extra balls and they GOT the big prizes that us, the people who didn't cheat, should get. So it was unfair. Especially since some people kept getting "redo"s because they were younger and ended up scoring every time.
For the second half, we did bughouse. I paired up with Jeffrey, and we had a win against every team that we played (at least one). Jean and Justin were really annoying. They screamed in my ear, took our rooks out for a spin, and even talked back to us, saying things like "How do you know I can't do that?"
In conclusion, I didn't have a lot of fun today in chess camp.
