A round of "modified pool play" today (basically double-elimination), seeding the final rounds.
Belardi/Bell (the tournament number 1 seed), Fisher/Stowell, and I.Clarke/Hoffman went 2-0. Odigie/Sorra went 0-2 (No idea what is the issue with this pair. Is Odigie just that weak a partner? Sorra playing hurt? ???)
Team Redwood (Belardi/Bell) got a first-round bye, won their second round match and are into tomorrow's QFs vs. a USC team.
The other two teams went 1-1 and are in some sort of pool play tomorrow. (Odigie/Sorra went to the consolation bracket.)
This is all in the "Gold" division. There is a second "Silver" division, with several more Stanford pairs:
Gubbins/Rockwell; Carlin/D.Gusarova; Andersson/Rivera Vargas; P.Clarke/Vincent; Kubiak/Sampson. These teams went undefeated Friday, except the last which was 0-2. They had a better Saturday,going 2-1; four teams move on to the "Silver Power" pools tomorrow. (Roughly half the teams get relegated to the "Bronze pools".)
Not sure what happened to Gubbins/Rockwell - they went 2-0 Friday, but don't show up in Saturday's listings, or tomorrow's pools. Must have had to drop out.
