Trevor Morris 7d was undefeated (4-0), claiming the first place trophy. Three players had 3 wins: Eric Osman 2d (3-1), Richard Buckman 7k (3-1), William Luff 10k (3-1). A special mention to Teddy Feldman who went 2-1 and might've had three wins had she not volunteered to take a bye in the second round to even out the field.
Special thanks to Micah Feldman (the guy handing out all the prizes in the linked images above) for organizing the tournament, bringing the bagels, arranging for the beatiful trophy, etc. Micah was also a good sport about having his first bye ever, due to a pairing snafu in the first round.
Thanks to the math professor Arunas Rudvalis, who sadly didn't play in the tournament, for arranging for the use of the room, and making sure that we left it in tidy shape.
Thanks also to Scott Magnoni, a Sr. at UMass who also didn't play in the tournament, but who directed it throughout the day.
Thanks to Bill Saltman for the great pictures linked above, and a few more here: Preparing final results Peter Morris in foreground. Another angle on the calculations. A wider shot.
