In the first session of the Friday/Saturday KO, the Jacobus/Cheek Family could be found in a single 3-way KO match!  A 3-way means that three teams compete and two survive.  Mark Jacobus (Father-In-Law & Husband) was on Team #1. Brenda Jacobus (Month-In-Law & Wife) was on Team #2. Curtis Cheek (Son-In-Law) was on Team #3.  Remember, only two teams survive…It was a battle royal and Mark was sent packing to the one-session swiss at night. I would not have wanted to be at that family dinner between sessions!

Over the years, Chris and I have ended up in matches against each other and we both agree that it’s best to beat up on other people rather than each other!  You might be thinking, what’s the Compton vs Compton record? We decided that for the sake of our marriage that those records are better left sealed!  I will tell you about our first match-up which was in Richmond, VA in 1988 just before our wedding.  My team beat his team in a round robin in the first session…but his team survived.  Unfortunately, the district allows playbacks before the finals and we meant in a head-to-head match in round two in which his team beat my team.  Chris’ team did go on to win the event and I did go on to marry him despite his team winning!
