There is not, because I honestly don't really remember the final match that well. I know I won with only two tickets - Seattle/New York and Kansas City/Houston, and I got the longest route. Beyond that, no clue.

First and second place both get to compete at the World Championships in Paris; winning the gold or silver trains was just icing on the cake. As such, the final matches (best two out of three) were incredibly relaxed affairs, which makes remembering them harder.

Edit: Now that I wrote that, some stuff is coming back to me... Perhaps my first ever session report is in order.

For that last game, we really should have had you and Jay replace your trains with the gold and silver ones respectively. So we could see them out on the board together. for a really good photo

Yeah, I realized that on the plane ride home. Now, in order to get a picture of gold and silver trains in the same game, we'll both need to bring them to Paris. Might be more hassle than it's worth.

On an unrelated note, I apologize about getting split up in the airport. Columbus is the first airport of any reasonable size that I've been in that had the concourses separated. We should've had a quick game of something in the food court area or something. Oh well. Hopefully you and Michael had something that could work with only two players.

I did not even realize that contest was being hosted in Ohio. I would have loved a chance to compete in that. Bah!

Congrats, though! That's an awesome train set. Let us know how you do in Paris!
