This month’s 8-person tournament felt like a Who’s Who of Columbus backgammon with a couple of older faces making an appearance. Stick made a surprise visit this time around – giving us 2 Giants in the field this month, and Jon Stephens made this his first tournament under the new club format. Welcome back to both!
Out of this very strong field, Bob Hickey rose to the top to become the first 2-time winner this year, pulling away from the pack a little in the Masters Points race, by defeating Jeff Boester in the main bracket. Jeff is coming on strong with 2 top-3 finishes in 2 appearances. Jason Marshall took 3rd place this month with a win over Jon Stephens in the consolation final.
The current Masters Points standings can be found here.
Congratulations to Bob on his win this month, and thank you to all those who attended, and we’ll see you all next month on September 14th at the next tournament.
