The first quad was USCF-rated Quick, with Daniel Bao winning while going 3-0. Quad #2 was won by Ben Bulger, who finished tied with T.J. Ross with a score of 2.0. In the blitz tiebreak, Ben got the better of TJ to win the second quad. The small swiss (6 players) saw Matt Morris go undefeated to take top honors.

A special thank you to the American Legion Post 69 for donating the chairs for the event and the players / supporters who chipped in to help setup beforehand and breakdown afterward -- I'm talking to you Ben Elliott (CFO) and Joe and Matt Morris. Major thanks! And thank you to PCL for the delicious cookies.
