This event was scheduled to be a 9 round Swiss. When only 10 players had shown up by the scheduled starting time, the players decided to convert the tournament to a Round-Robin. This decision can lead to problems if more players arrive and, sure enough, Patrick Gong arrived during Round One. Since Patrick had a good reason for being late, and because we don't like to exclude any players, we had another player's meeting and it was decided to convert back to a 9 round Swiss. This presented its own problems but they were manageable. This tournament resembled 'The Empire Strikes Back' scenario a bit, with no Juniors scoring 50%. About time the older generation put these kids in their place! Temporarily, at least ! Ihsan Ferozkohi continued his domination of the Rapid tournaments for this year, with his third win in a row. Ihsan drew with Tristan Boyd and won every other game. Tristan also drew with Michael Horstmann and George Carolin-Unkovich to ruin his winning chances. Apart from the problems with the tournament format, the event ran very smoothly. Haydn Barber, DOP |
