Tournament Results
Sunday, 18 February 1996
San Mateo, California
Retrieving long-forgotten backgammon boards from cobweb-covered closet corners, and prying themselves from their pc's, 45 Bay Area gamesfolks (at least 21 of them FIBS vets) ventured to a very pleasant venue for the premiere Backgammon by the Bay tournament. Entertainment gratuitously provided by the Black Hat (Joan and I have been wondering, What will we do for a follow-up? Suggestions? Volunteers?), and the inferior comparison of Famous Amos cookies to Joan's brownies were the only bumps in an enjoyable outing for all of those in attendance. Our thanks for making it so. And the winners are:
Beginner's section (9 players):
Main Winner - Glen Lipska
2nd - Steve Rubin
Consolation Winner - Stan Bromberg
Intermediate section (14 players):
Curtis Lucas wins the came-from-furthest-away award,
having flown in from Arlington, TX just for the tourney!
Linda Landre (Joan's sister) is runner-up in the long distance award,
having come from Oregon (not just to see us).
Main Winner - Brad Louis
2nd - Tom Henson
3rd - Jeremy Silman
4th - Marvin Porten
Consolation Winner - Curtis Lucas
2nd - Linda Landre
Open section (22 players):
And those who wanted to see a Woolsey/Ballard final were not disappointed.
Main Winner - David Simpson
2nd - Larry Mohr
3rd - Vladimir Dobrich
4th - Patti Beadles
Consolation Winner - Nick Ballard
2nd - Sally Woolsey
Congratulations to you all!
Keep on rollin' well,
