The total prize funds were approximately $825 for the youth tournament and $7,300 for the main tournament.
All divisions played 8 rounds. Based on recent survey results, the Masters used traditional round scoring by match
(4 games - limited by 8 hours), and played 6 days including Saturday, but all other divisions scored points by game.
An added treat during the week was a Wednesday night Prayer Meeting conducted by Wade Holder and
Larry Pollard in Room 200 for those who wished to attend.  There were prayers, lots of scripture, group singing,
and solos by Tim Laverty, Ray Shelley, and Donnell Guy. So very good!
 

Congratulations to organizers and directors, and also all players. It was a good one - outstanding ty!  I played a bit softly and not very aggressively compare with 2004. Final work on SIXTH took out a lot of energy.

What really cost me with Honor Points - in last round Clayton Nash beat Elbert Lowder and Richard Beckwith beat Larry Keen, which finally placed them as 6th and 4th respectively. How I can be disappointed with this?  I am happy and satisfy with Richard and Clay's performance.

From the overall total 42 players at National Ty, only 3 or 4 left without copy of SIXTH Laughing

Ron King got one copy for himself, and 4 more for his friends and Barbados players.

More later ... Yours, Alex
