Mike kicked off the Second Annual Rafters Cup with a bang when he crapped his pants, delaying the start of the tournament for six minutes as he sat in the bathroom wiping himself.  After the delay, Paul successfully defended his '96 championship by blowing away the competition.  After five games, Paul held the lead at 4-1, Andrew and Mike were tied at  3-2, and Eric was out of it at 0-5.  It was at this point that Eric muttered the quote of the year; at 12:05am he said "I can't believe I have to wait 'till next year".  For the second straight year it all came down to the sixth and final game.  All Andrew and Mike had to do was hold Eric and Paul to 6 points or less and they would have tied for first.  Unfortunately this did not happen.  For the first time all damn night Eric started to play, helping Paul win the last game 10-8 and his second straight Rafters Cup.  Paul notched 56 points for, the highest total ever and 4 short of a perfect 60. Eric, on the other hand, had a tournament to forget.  He set Rafters records for worst record (1-5), and most points against (58).  He also tied the record for the least points for (42) which Andrew set last year.
