Now that the final tournament of the year is finished, the totals are in and Chris Yep has captured the CBC Player of the Year title for 2016! This is the second time that Chris has won the title, with the first being in 2012.
It was a title defined by consistency throughout the year, with Chris placing in the top 3 of nine tournaments. This effort was enough to overcome an impressive 4 straight tournament wins by Mike Rezai at the beginning of the year. During the summer months, it seemed to be turning into a 3-horse race with Chris, Mike, and Trevor Dierkes all within striking distance of each other. In the end, Chris ended up on top by a margin of 56 points.
Chris’ efforts have earned him an engraved doubling cube which will be presented to him early next year.
Congratulations, Chris, on a well fought campaign!
