Once again we had a healthy even dozen players for tonight's tournament, with Andre squeaking in at the last minute to save Mahnez from sitting on the sidelines with a bye.
Gary was again drawn as the jackpot player – not that exciting as John Symon scooted off with it last week – and he was able to capitalise on this, taking the top spot.
Matches seemed to be played in record time tonight – maybe we are all finally getting used to the 1 hour time limit at last .
The final results were:
In top spot – Jackpot player and Tournament Director Gary Stavrou
Taking runner up – Jim Bean
In third position – Andre Marootians – one of our newest players
Reminders – this week we have THREE upcoming backgammon tournaments to put in your diary.
April 7 - the Sydney Open at Canada bay (full details on the Events Page).
July 6 – the 2019 New Zealand Backgammon Championship in Auckland
September 15th– the Newcastle Open backgammon tournament in Charlestown
