Sea Hang Heya National Hearts Bee!
In the spirit of finding the nation's best speller (an event that Russell captures nicely on his new blog), Andrew and I have decided to hold a tournament to discover the nation's best Hearts player! Announcing the first ever Sea Hang Heya National Hearts Bee! After a long and grueling process, we've managed to narrow the field down to the eight best Hearts players in America, and they're all right here in the Peninsula! Amazing, no? Must be something in the water.
The set-up for the Bee is as follows:
- Two semifinal tables of four, sorted by player rankings, play to 100
- $5 entry fee for each player
- Winner of each semifinal table wins $5
- Top two at each table advance to the championship table, play to 200
- Bottom two at each table play at the consolation table, play to 200
- Winner of the consolation table wins $5
- Winner of the championship table wins $25
The set-up puts a premium (read: money) on winning only, but to get to the championship table, second place counts, which could lead to some interesting semifinal tactics. You'll have to think twice before taking one "for the team."
The semifinal lineup, official rules, and tournament date will be announced shortly. Did you make the cut? Stay tuned...

you guys better bring your B game
otherwise i got no shot.
If I bring my A game, no one has a shot.
can i play?
The lineup will be announced publicly very shortly.
im nervous. did i make the cut???
You would have for sure, Ruth, but then you left the area, and your SHHNHB ranking took a dive. A huge factor in the rankings is having residence on the Peninsula. Other major factors include membership in the Changina blog ring, games of Hearts played against me, and likelihood that I can beat you. You rank very well in all three!
what is my SHHNHB ranking? :(
can u do an online game? :(
alright, im pumped now. im like the phoenix suns of hearts. im always breaking 100.
i should be allowed to enter because i could kick Chang's ass. Let be in...memmemememememmememe
How about we do a mini-tournament in Hawaii? It won't be officially sanctioned by the SHHNHB, but that way we can get the med school ladies involved.
