Despite the cold weather, 12 players attended the first tournament of the year, including one new player, Nick Cosentino. When the dust settled, Trevor Dierkes came out on top, winning in the Main Bracket final over second place finisher, Stu Cohen. Due to time constraints, the Consolation final was suspended with Mike Rezai leading Maron Cury 5-4 (to 7). Their match will resume next month.
The full tournament bracket for January can be found here. The current Masters Points standings can be found here. Additionally, the winner of the suspended Mike Rezai vs. Maron Cury match will gain an extra 27 Masters Points when the Masters Points are updated next month.
Thank you again to all who came out to play, welcome again to Nick Cosentino, and congratulations to our top 3:
1st – Trevor Dierkes
2nd – Stu Cohen
3rd – Mike Rezai or Maron Cury
