I guess I should technically post one of my results pages for the competition I played this past weekend, but since I was the only competitor in grade 1 I don’t really classify it as a competition. There was something funny that I think is worth sharing.

I was working the day as the EUSPBA’s official monitor, a duty I’ve executed several times before. I wouldn’t exactly describe it as fun, but I enjoy it, and it’s neat to be behind the scenes and helping to make things run smoothly. On Saturday I did a bit of monitoring, listened to some competitors play, and began to prepare for my own performances.

As I was changing my clothes, I had a moment of panic when I realized that I had forgotten to bring my kilt. I’ve never done that for a competition before, and for any other competition in my career I’d have been out of luck. This particular event, however, was the closest competition I’ve ever done, just 12 miles from home. I actually had time to run home to get my kilt.

The funny thing here is that this is the only time I’ve forgotten my kilt, and the only time where I was in a position to do something about it. The only event I ever did that was close enough for me to run home in the middle of the day is when I actually did need to run home in the middle of the day.

Have you ever had an experience like that? Please share!
