Today’s tournament was full of action, with a strong field of 13 players showing up today – including 2 new attendees – Luke Smith and Bob James! This makes 4 months in a row where we have had players playing with us for the first time.
Speaking of four months in a row – Mike Rezai officially marked wins for both March and April today. The first win came as Mike and Chris Yep completed the final match from the March tournament that was postponed for time constraints. The second came a few hours later as Mike defeated Carl Herold in the April tournament final. These wins earned Mike a total of 100 Masters Points on the day, giving him a grand total of 300 for the year!
To add a little bit of “incentive” for the rest of the field, I introduced a bounty on Mike – the first player to defeat Mike in a main bracket match would receive $20. No one was able to claim it today, so it will carry over to May where it will increase to $40!
In this month’s consolation final, our resident Giant, Mary Hickey, defeated Trever Dierkes to take third place.
Updated Masters Points standings can be found on the website here.
Congratulations to Mike, Carl, and Mary on their finishes, and welcome to our newcomers: Luke and Bob!
The next monthly tournament will be held one week later than normal on May 15th due to Mother’s Day. See you then!
