Overall
All done. Tables put away, table cloths folded, bridge mates packed and bidding boxes folded up. It’s sad to see it end but, I promise, we’ll be back again next year!!! 🙂
“Everyone was so welcoming and cordial. It was such a comfortable feeling…and a good range of players to compete against. I look forward to seeing, and interacting with the other players again in the future. I was able to improve some of my skills, while also achieving results above what I had hoped.” – Tournament Participant
Highlights
If I have my math correct, we had 144.5 tables over the three days!!
The top Open Pairs master point winner for the three days were Layne Noble and Deborah Harper, both of Ottawa, with a total of 18.39 mps each. Congratulations!!!
The top I/N Regional master point winner was a tie!! Congratulations to Rob Durward of Russell and Gerald Steenberge of NY with a total of 8.03 mps each.
