The no-handicap race to 5 format was well received by all 48 players in attendance. Results below. 1st Rob Brandenburg $1995 (calc) 2nd Mike Roberts $1087 (calc) 3rd John Jorgenson $ 652 (calc) 4th Vince McIntyre $ 485 (calc) 5/6 Mario Morra $ 125 Jim Toupin $ 125 7/8 Tol Kuy $ 100 Rob Hall $ 100 The Sunday matches had some interesting results. To start things off, John Jorgenson took out Tol Kuy at the same time as Mario Morra sent Rob Hall to the snack bar. Mike Roberts and Jim Toupin played a gutsy match that sent Jim to the B-Side while Rob Brandenburg worked his magic to move Vince McIntyre to the B-Side as well. This set up a match between Ready-to-play Vince and a methodical Mario. Vince worked his strategy and prevailed. At the same time Jim Toupin and John Jorgenson played a tough hill/hill match that ended with John the winner. This leads to John playing Vince in a fairly wide open match where Vince would lose and accept a 4th place finish. John would then ready himself to play Rob Brandenburg who had just lost to Mike Roberts in the A-Side final. Mike must now wait in the hot seat for the winner of the B-Side. The B-side final proved to be a tough match where 1 miss could decide the fate but Rob B was on a roll and the outs were becoming routine. John was retired to 3rd place and Rob and Mike would play the finals where Rob needed to beat Mike twice to win. Rob was in such form by then there was little that Mike could do but watch as Rob neatly carved him up for 2 match wins to take 1st place. Congrats to all the players, a very enjoyable tournament.
