Well, a massive tie for first place happened in the Open section, between Michael Langer, Thomas Crispin, Drew Sarkisian, Josh Newsham, and Alan Laverty, all with 2.0 / 3.0 points. Each player won $17.40.
J.B. Makhani and Abhay Raina tied for first in the U1800 section, with 2.5 / 3.0 points, each winning $32.50.
This was the last event for 2007. I want to thank everyone for supporting the club, and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody next year. Have a safe and happy holiday season.
Take care,
Drew
