We used the Swiss scoring system, which works like this. We play a two game round with the same drawn opening. One with the red checkers and one with the white. You get 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. Your next opponent is then drawn from players that have an equal amount of points that you have and the one with the most points is the Champ. Ties are broken up by the players with the most honor points. Honor points are figured like this. The total points of your opponents are added up, dropping the one with the lowest points. The player with the most honor points takes the spot.............Steve

 

CROSS-TABLES

Here is how it went game by game. You read it like this. Each box has four numbers. The first is the players number that you  played / points for game one / points for game 2 / the running total of all previous games.

Our condolences go out the three Oklahoma players that were lost since out last tournament. they will be missed greatly!
Clarence Feightner, Luther Stubblefield
, and Dave Rawson   Our prayers go out to their families....
