2004-TBA-RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA
2003-ADAM VIRCHIS-RANCHO CUCAMONGA
THE WEEKEND STARTED WITH A TWO-ON-TWO "DRAW" AT BASKETBALL DUE TO HEAT EXHAUSTION. THE CALIFORNIA BOYS LEARNED A LITTLE GAME CALLED BAR DICE, AND HOW TO MAKE A DRINK CALLED AN OLD FASHIONED, AND HOW TO DRINK ONE ... OR EIGHT. ADAM WAS THE STORY OF THESE GAMES. HE TOOK FIRST IN 4 OF THE 6 EVENTS WITH NO LASTS. SOME OF THE NON-EVENT HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDED MICHELE SHOWING UP IN A HOME-MADE BFO "GO-SEAN" T-SHIRT, CHAD GETTING A BFO TATOO, AND THE SOON-TO-BE-FAMOUS BELLY PICTURES ON THE GOLF COURSE. A FEW NEW ADDITIONS PROVIDED BY THE HOST, AL, WERE A TORCH, LIT TO SIGNIFY THE START OF THE GAMES, AND A BIG SIGN FOR EACH EVENT WHICH THE WINNER OF THE EVENT KEPT. AS FOR THE COMPETITION, AL WAS FIRED UP FOR RBI TO START THE EVENTS, BUT RAN INTO A BUZZSAW NAMED ADAM IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. BASKETBALL WAS MOVED TO THE MORING TO AVOID THE HEAT. CHAD HAD TO BEAT ADAM IN THE FIRST ROUND AND IN AN ELIMINATION GAME TO FACE AL IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. CHAD WON THE FIRST GAME BUT AL HAD TOO MUCH LEFT IN THE TANK AND TOOK FIRST PLACE. BOWLING PROVIDED THE FIRST TRUE UPSET OF THE GAMES. AL OVERCAME A 30 + PIN DEFECIT AND WON THE EVENT OVER CHAD WITH A CAREER BEST 178. THE TUMULTUOUS SATURDAY FINISHED WITH ANOTHER SHOCKER, THIS TIME IN POOL. ADAM, WITH HIS NEW STICK, AGAIN WON AN EVENT, BEATING CHAD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, DEFLATING AL'S SAILS AND BASICALLY FORCING CHAD AND SEAN TO THINK ABOUT NEXT YEAR. SEAN PLAYED SOME VERY GOOD POKER TO REBOUND FOR HIS BEST FINISH (2ND) OF THE COMPETITION AS, YOU GUESSED IT, ADAM WON AGAIN. THE ONLY HOPE IN GOLF WAS A LAST PLACE BY ADAM AND A FIRST PLACE BY AL, BUT ADAM SLIPPED BY CHAD TO COMPLETE HIS DOMINATING PERFORMANCE AND CAPTURE THE T-SHIRT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN HIS CAREER. THERE WERE A FEW RUMBLINGS ABOUT THE EXISTING RULES FOR SOME OF THE EVENTS. TALKS HAVE BEGUN TO START AN ANNUAL "RULES COMMITTEE" MEETING TO DISCUSS AND PRESENT NEW IDEAS, RULES AND POSSIBLY NEW EVENTS TO THE GAMES. THE LOACATION AND DATE IS YET TO BE DETERMINED, BUT THE PRELIMINARY SUGGETIONS SEEMED TO FOCUS ON A SMALL, WELL-LIT TOWN IN THE SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES IN THE WINTER-TIME.

2002-CHAD MISOVEC - GREEN BAY
AL STARTED THE WEEKEND BY WINNING THE $100 WIEGH-IN BET WITH CHAD BY JUST A FEW POUNDS, BUT WITH A VERY IMPRESSIVE EFFORT, CHAD "WON BEFORE HE WON". THIS WAS THE GAMES WHERE "YOU COULDN'T SAY A WORD WITHOUT SOMEONE GIVING YOU SOME SERIOUS SHIT". KNOWING THAT THE HIGHEST POINT TOTAL FOR THE 6 EVENTS ALWAYS DETERMINES THE WINNER, CHAD, WHO WENT WITH THE MOHAWK, HAD CROWNED HIMSELF CHAMPION IN THE '02 GAMES AFTER ONLY 5 EVENTS. THIS IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE WIN WE HAVE SEEN SINCE THE BEGINNING OF BFO. THE FINAL EVENT, POOL, WAS NOT NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE CHAMPION. OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO CHAD, AS A TREMENDOUS COMEBACK IN BOWLING ON THE FINAL DAY GAVE HIM THE TITLE OF "BACK TO BACK CHAMPION".

2001-CHAD MISOVEC - MODESTO
THE WINNER OF THE 01' GAMES WAS FOR THE FIRST TIME CHAD MISOVEC. KNOWING THE HOST ALWAYS HAS HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE, CHAD STEPPED UP IS GAME, SHAVED HIS HEAD AND CAME READY TO PLAY. A CLASSIC HIGHLIGHT CAME FROM GOLF WHEN THE HEAD OF SEAN'S FAIRWAY WOOD FLEW OFF DURING A SWING AND LANDED WITH THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LAKE. AL WAS NEARLY SHISHKABOBED WHEN SEAN SWUNG THE SHAFT ACROSS THE CART AND IT SNAPPED IN HALF FLYING NEAR AL. DUE TO POOR PLANNING, THE FINAL AND MOST IMPORTANT EVENT OF THE THE GAMES CAME DOWN TO BASKETBALL. WITH A COMMANDING LEAD, CHAD ONLY NEEDED ONE VICTORY IN THE DOUBLE ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT TO BE TITLED THAT YEARS WINNER. IN IMPRESSIVE FASHION, CHAD CAPTURED THE FIRST GAME OVER AL ALLEN AND LEFT THE OTHER TWO COMPETITORS JUST LOOKING ON, AS THEY NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO SHOOT ONE SHOT BEFORE CHAD GRABBED THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

1999-SEAN TULLY-SAN DIEGO
SEAN WAS THE ONE EVERYONE WAS AFTER IN THE '99 GAMES. KNOWING HE HAD WON THE 98' GAMES EVERYONE WANTED HIS HEAD. GOOD FOR SEAN THAT HE CAME WITH HIS OWN BEATBOX OF "OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW, YOUR ASS BETTER CALL SOMEBODY", BECAUSE HE KNEW THAT NO ONE COULD TOUCH HIS STAMINA. THIS YEAR STARTED THE PHRASE "IT IS NEITHER B NOR F NOR O". SEAN WENT ON TO WIN THAT YEAR WITH A STELLER VICTORY IN BASKETBALL OF THE ONE TO BEAT, AL ALLEN! THIS WOULD COME TO BE KNOWN AS "THE YEAR THEY PUKED" - ADAM AT GOLF, SEAN AT BASKETBALL. NICE JOB ON THE BACK TO BACK VICTORY SEAN TULLY! WOULD ANYONE ELSE EVER WIN THAT DAMN SHIRT??

2000-ADAM VIRCHIS - LAS VEGAS
FOR THE FIRST TIME THE '00 EVENTS WERE HOSTED AT A NEUTRAL LOCATION, LAS VEGAS BABY! THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST FUN OUT OF ALL THE YEARS. THE WEEKEND WAS FILLED WITH NEVER-FORGET MOMENTS. GOLF WAS HELD AT A COURSE AT THE START OF THE LANDING STRIP OF THE AIRPORT AND HUGE JETS WERE COMING IN FOR A LANDING DURING THE WHOLE ROUND. THEY SEEMED TO BE JUST A FEW FEET OVER OUR HEADS. THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT WAS A HUGE EARTHQUAKE THAT SENT CHAD AND ADAM SCRAMBLING FOR THE SHOWER (DON'T ASK ME WHY) AND THEN DOWN 17 FLIGHTS OF STAIRS WITH AL. MEANWHILE, SEAN PLAYED POKER RIGHT THOUGH THE WHOLE THING AS ALL OF VEGAS WENT INTO RED ALERT AND PANIC MODE. AL, CHAD AND ADAM SLEPT IN THE CAR AND SEAN SLEPT IN THE ROOM, EVEN THROUGH A VERY STRONG AFTERSHOCK. UNFORTUNATLEY THE EVENTS ENDED IN A TIE BETWEEN AL ALLEN AND ADAM VIRCHIS, THE WINNER WAS DETERMINED IN TRUE VEGAS STYLE-"PICK EM' SPORTSBOOK". STILL UNDER DEBATE BY AL ALLEN, THE CHAMPIONSHIP WAS GIVEN TO ADAM VIRCHIS BECAUSE ALEDGEDLY HE HAD BETTER RESULTS IN THE PRO FOOTBALL PICKS.

1998-SEAN TULLY-CHINO HILLS
NOT KNOWING WHAT BFO WOULD BECOME, THE INCEPTION YEAR WAS A INSTANT CLASSIC! THIS YEAR THE EVENTS DID NOT INCLUDE POKER. HOWEVER, THAT DID NOT MATTER TO SEAN AS HE WAS ABLE TO SCRATCH OUT A HARD-FOUGHT, BALLS-OUT, NAIL-BITER OF A PLAYOFF BASKETBALL GAME VERSUS AL, AS THEY WERE TIED AFTER ALL OF THE EVENTS, TO BECOME THE FIRST NAME ON THE BACK OF THE COVETED SLEEVELESS T, "I WON" - BFO'S FIRST CHAMP SEAN TULLY!
