I would
like to thank everyone who attended you helped make this tournament
a success. A special thank you to Glen Tubbs who's hard work moving
boards in and out of the lodge all too often goes unmentioned. Also
Charlie Riley who spends countless hours keeping track of registrations
and monies who also has been pulling double duty until recently.
Keith Ellison and Glen Tubbs also did a fine job handling all the
money making sure everything was counted down to the penny .I would
also like to that Delaine Moore for helping with the brackets this
year. What made this tournament a huge success was the amount of
players who showed up in div three the most of which came from Stockton
(Good job Doc)
