These folks' KG ratings (and their pocketbooks) are a tad weightier as
the result of the June tourney.
Main Winner - Steve Clark
2nd - Rawlin Pullen
Consolation Winner - Nick Ballard
2nd - Blake Sorem
Congratulations to you all!
Laury Mac was on hand (no pun) to give wonderfully relaxing and refreshing neck-and-shoulder massages. Extra big smiles were seen on those who partook of her ministrations.
This month's long distance award goes to our very own Joan Clark, who returned from Ireland after only two weeks (she would have liked to have been there for two months!), but said she wouldn't have missed collecting Steve's winnings for anything.
We are heartened to continue seeing new faces at the tourneys, and hope you will continue to spread the word for what is an enjoyable venture to the world of backgammon. Again, if you know any folks who play backgammon but might be shy about a tournament experience, we hope we've made the whole thing easily understood and comfortable for the true novices. Please invite them along with you, and we'll roll out the welcome mat.
It was delightful to meet FIBS' Jill, in person. She spends her summer break from Wellesley in the area.
Things we're thinking about, so why don't you (and give us your input):
There's a new backgammon presence in the Bay Area: FIBS! Marvin was in town to help us celebrate.
Keep on rollin' well,
J
