Congratulations to:

- Players were randomly allocated to boards;
- Each table in the same round used the same layout;
- The tournament points available were 10-8-6-4-2 with ties sharing equally;

This year we again asked for suggestions for good gamesmanship. The special award for this went to Tanya Fox, nominated anonymously for "doing the right thing". Well done, Tanya.
Peter had an outstanding tournament. But there must be a special mention for Hendrik who consistently scores near the top but just fails to hit the first couple of places. Maybe next year Hendrik?
A thank you from me to the players for making this a great tournament to run. You played in the best of spirits and deserve a pat on the back. I hope you had a good time.
