Tournament Results
Sunday, 21 April 1996
San Mateo, California
It has been said that good things happen in 3's. The third monthly BACKGAMMON BY THE BAY tournament was a good thing happening. Many thanks to all of you who participated (a record attendance -- 48!). Especially good things happened, and our congratulations, to:
Beginner's section (12 players):
This is Glen's 2nd win in 3 outings, and a big hand and all in unison now:
"Welcome to the Intermediate Division, Glen!!"
Seriously, handshakes and hugs, and Well Done!
And there was an all-ladies final in the Consolation
(I love it when that happens :-)
Main Winner - Glen Lipska
2nd - Ron Dumont
Consolation 1st - Barbara Liston
2nd - Val Lea
Intermediate section (15 players):
Tom Henson is my pick for the next-in-line-for-the Welcome Wagon --
3 at-bats, 3 hits -- good job!
Main Winner - Stan Weiss
2nd - Tom Henson
Consolation Winner - Duane Boeck
2nd Mark King
Open section (21 players):
Robert Caradien's motto is, "It's always hot in the South of France."
Kim Scheinberg rebuts, "I said the NY Times, not the Paris Match."
Main Winner - Robert Caradien
2nd - Kim Scheinberg
3rd - Phil Laak
4th - Ron Karr
Consolation Winner - Elliott Winslow
2nd - Jay Whitehead
Congratulations to you all!
A note from your sponsors: The American Backgammon Tour rates players' tourney showings based on specific criteria that our one-day event does not meet. Our tourneys are eligible to participate in Kent Goulding's ratings catalogue, and an informal poll of the seasoned vets has shown that there is interest in doing so. Therefore ...
Beginning Sunday, May 19th, Open Division results will be reported and considered in KG's List.
Does this mean that someone will usurp Mike Senkiewicz' long-distance trophy standing? Does it mean that Glen will completely bypass the Intermediate Division for those yummy KG points? Does this mean that Jay Whitehead will speak to us again? Stay tuned for more.
And thanks again to you all for coming. You really make a pleasant day for us.
Keep on rollin' well,
J
