Update:
Splent has won Pool 1 via point differential. All three of us went 1-1, but the final point differentials were: Splent +79, senecadawg2 +57, ZeppelinDT -136.
Also - if we do this again and end up with pool play, I think next time the first round should consist of two games per pairing (so a total of 4 games per person in the first round rather than 2). 2 games seemed to just go by way too fast.
