Thanks to Matt Veldhuizen for the photos. Click on the images to enlarge.
Congratulations to Russell Dive, who won all his games for a convincing victory. Great to see him back on form!
Congratulations also to our visitor from Norway, Joachim Berg-Jensen, who won every game apart from the one with Russell. It has been a pleasure to have him in Wellington, shame he's not staying for longer.
Many thanks to Ross Jackson, Andrew Brockway, Bill Forster and Brian Nijman for organising the tournament.
Big thank you to Keong Ang for his professional controllership, and for providing the B grade winner!
I hope you all enjoyed the tournament, thanks for coming from far and wide to take part.
