Had a massive turnout compared to budgetting numbers so with 52 players we got to buy some more prizes. Another box got distributed 1st tru 8th places.. After 6 rounds swiss the top eight looked like: Name Match OppM% Jihad Hani 16 60.19 Lee Cumberland 16 55.56 Chris Hudson 15 64.81 Dan Henke 15 50.93 Chris Kwan 13 66.67 Russell Johnson 13 60.19 Christo Mircev 13 60.19 Tom Chanpheng 13 54.63 It was great to see two 'unknown' and quite young guys top out the swiss! Final Rounds followed (underlined player winning.....)
