Hostile Takeovers in Spring Tournament

Posted by Juraj on Sun March 25, 2012 at 16h45

We had 25 players at the spring tournament, and welcomed Hans Oh all the way from Toronto area, as well as three players from Edmonton. It was one of those tournaments where victory was snatched from the tournament leaders in the last few rounds as Matthew Larocque and Rod Weis finished second, to Juraj Pivovarov and Betty Bergeron.

One of the best performances was had by Maureen Morris, where she finished with 8/6, +145 in a field of 14 players where she started second from the bottom. She's been playing up in Div 1 quite often lately, and it's really starting to pay off.

We missed some of our regulars like Maureen Clifford or Millie Pelkey who would have avoided the BYE in division 2. Sadly, three players had to take two byes.

See everyone on June 2nd and 3rd for our Annual Summer tournament. And before that, hope you can make it to Edmonton for April 14th and 15th and their annual event. Always a fabulous tournament there, run by Huguette Settle.
