This is just a quick post to summarise after last night’s competition. Bigger and better than last time! More spectators, more cheering, an insanely hot room! The fickle wheel of fortune demanded many challenges from competitors but utimately Scott “Captain Tugboat” Griffiths came out on top:
1st – Scott “Captain Tugboat” Griffiths – 10 points
2nd – Neil “Number 1″ Le Bihan – 6 points
3rd – David “El Grifo” Gibbons – 4 points
4th – Lynsey Harley – 2 points
All those who made it to round 2 also got one point. Check the leaderboard for updated scores!
More details on the UBF Blog, including a video of the majestic El Grifo in action! Henry Dillon posted this last night as the echos of the crowd faded and the battle weary baristas slipped into the night. There were many cameras flashing throughout the event so please be sure to upload them all to the UBF flickr page and help to document this bout.
Thanks to all who came and made the night a success. The cakes and pies and pastries were all very much appreciated and special thanks to Bronwen and Francis for the massive wheel of brie! Wowzer! Thanks to Paul from coffee hit for adding to the prize cache and to Nigel at Menor for providing the printed knockout chart with art work from David Gibbons. Mat North of Beyond the Bean did a grand job of manning the door and Ross Brown kept the crowd simmering with his MC skills, thanks to them! Finally, a big thank you to Emily Oak for providing the competition espresso from AIR.
Stay tuned for info on the UBF 3 and we look forward to looking to seeing you next time!
