We had 12 players at the August 20th tournament and the time handicap proved to be a big advantage when after 3 rounds there were 2 young 1300 players as the only perfect scores! These 2 both ended up with a prize as Matthew Niemiec came in 1st and Harsh Bhundiya scored the biggest upset for a win against top seed Carlos Santillan. The 2nd biggest upset prize went to Della Carter.
Scores:
4.5 Matthew Niemiec
4 Carlos Santillan, Sam Dooley, Dante Archuleta, Robert Hampton and Bird Thompson
3.5 Harsh Bhundiya
2 Bill Frank, Holly McRoberts and Della Carter
1 Gene Chavez
0 Craig Stamm
