Three more players qualified for next summer's NAST Final - Lisa
Slankard, Steve Hartsman and David Weiss. Erica Moore, the 16th seed,
came oh-so-close. She was in third place going into the final game and
couldn't quite pull it off. Still, quite a performance.

Joe Gaspard had to beat Jim Kramer in the final game to win this one.
David Herfel is starting to show the rest of the world what he's been
showing us at Club the last couple of years - that he's a very good
player. And, a nice welcome to Eric Ufferman, who recently moved to the
Twin Cities area from D.C.

A dominant performance by Bob Prentiss. Still, Carol Dustin had him by
a few spread points going into the last game, so she would have won the
tournament had she beaten Bob.

Very closely contested between Aditya Kini and Rita McGee. He defeated
her in the final game by a large enough margin to overcome her lead
going in. Kudos to newcomer J.T. Sienkowski, a Madison club player
doing his first tournament.

Bob Antolak was late arriving Sunday morning after attending church, but
kept his cool and pulled off the win he needed in the last game.
Apparently the peace of God passeth all understanding. Newcomer Laura
Beyer lost her first two games and still managed to finish in fourth
place for a strong first tournament.
Mary Krizan donated tile bags for what she lovingly calls the Sad Sack
prize - for the last place finisher in each division. Other prizes were
awarded in each division for high loss and high play. A prize was also
awarded for the high "WSC" play, in honor of the upcoming World Scrabble
Championship.
