First day complete

Having played 7/10 of our matches, we are 18 VPs above average, 2nd in our group. The first day's results are at http://usbf.org/docs/vugraphs/USBC2009/RRsheet.php?stage=RR1&group=Mets

Cohler, the top-seeded team in this stage (higher-ranked teams have byes), is currently below the surface and has only two matches to come up for air. Schwartz, #2 in our group, has their head just above water. Unlikely they both make it; someone would need to fall hard. In the other group the top teams are much more comfortable. (I prefer the drowning metaphor to an NCAAish "on the bubble" -- maybe it seems more appropriate because we know where the "surface" is.)
