This unique format guaranteed that everyone played five matches whether they won or lost and finished up with a placing in their division from 1st to 32nd by the end of play on Sunday. There was a fun sociable atmosphere around all weekend - it made such a difference that everyone was there until the end.

Division 1 had players rated from about 5.5 down to 3.8, and saw the majority of matches go with the seedings towards the latter rounds, although there were some surprises along the way.

Division 2’s players were rated from about 3.8 down to beginner level, some players playing a tournament for the first time. This division had a few more upsets, but just as many close matches.

The top 8 finishers in Division 2 were: 1st - Tina Fuselli (Phoenix), 2nd – Alex De La Garza (Panama), 3rd – Paul Vesilind (Burbank SC), 4th – AJ Mersola (Burbank SC), 5th – Michelle Kobashi (Santa Barbara), 6th – Ferdy Geitner (Santa Barbara), 7th – Greg Jizmagian (San Francisco), and 8th – David Farber (Santa Barbara).

Honorable mentions go to Shannon Wallace of San Diego and Suzie McSherry of Santa Barbara, whose 9th and 17th place finishes meant that they only lost one match.

The top 8 finishers in Division 1 were: 1st – Dylan Neal (LA), 2nd – Armando Olguin (San Francisco), 3rd – Sam Hansen (LA), 4th – Henry De Wan (San Francisco), 5th – Ashley Smith (Las Vegas), 6th – Dar Khalighi (Seattle), 7th – Nathan Scott (LA), and 8th – David Hirsch (LA). Again, honorable mentions go to Debbie Brown of Santa Barbara and Darin Randles of Phoenix for their 9th and 17th place finishes.

Congratulations to the winners and also to all the players who made it though their five matches and were able to walk out of the club!
