Fall Tournament to be decided this Thursday, December 22!!

The winner of Syed-Hamza H vs. Chris G will take on Feng C to decide the champion for the Fall Tournament.

Players in "Bracket B" (those who joined late or had one loss or two no-shows in "Bracket A") will continue to compete in the Winter Tournament when we return from break. The winner of Bracket B would then have to beat the winner of Bracket A two out of three to take the crown.



Players with two losses or three no-shows total have been eliminated from the tournament:

Abdul A,
Elsie L,
Alex F,
Henry R.

Last week, Henry R had a strong win over Feng C. Though eliminated from the tournament with two losses, he beat the current leading player in Bracket A. This is why we play the games!
