Joe Margolin won all games and is Massachusetts State & District 1 Champion. Last round game against Richard White was decisive with both players having 7 wins but Margolin played better and won.
Ratings from Eric Strange's new ACF ratings, and older WCDF - January 2010.
Only players from CT, MA and NH this year, so, ME, VT, and RI titles were not contested. The last RI champ was Mike Magnelli (2008), Ed McDuffee keeps his title from NH (2009) and John Michalowski from ME (2009).
Tournament was a GAYP, 8 rounds of Round Robin, 9 players, scored by game, and the T separates player's opponent from player's game points for that round. Above table is not by rounds but by player vs player.
Nice newspaper article reporting this event in Dover-SherbornPatch.

They pair 1st round and after that, finished players pair themselves with whoever is available until everyone has played each other. No clocks, time limits, or lunch breaks, this way those who want to take a little longer can, and once the game is over, they record the results and move on to the next available players.
