Report of Manchester, NH club tournament in 2001. Written by Rod MacNeil, club director. A record 13 players participated in the Club Tournament held on Sunday, September 9th! Over seven rounds, players competed for prizes in two divisions. In the 6-player Group A, Rod MacNeil rallied from a 1-2 start to win his last 4 games, winning the 1st prize of $35. Rod defeated Ben Loiterstein in the final KOH round, clinching in the same dramatic fashion that Ben did in the July 29th tourney, as he bingoed* out with INDeXING for 98 points to win the game and tourney! Dean “Deuce” Cullen won his KOH game to vault into 2nd place, winning $20. Ben placed 3rd. We also welcomed Diane Firstman, visiting us from New York City, who placed 4th in this group. In the 7-player Group B, Lorraine Ray was impressive, winning the 1st prize of $35. Steve Moniz placed just behind, earning the 2nd prize of $20. Pat Gehrmann was the best 3rd place finisher of the day, earning a free entry to a future club tourney. Thanks to everyone who participated and made it such a successful event! Group A: Group B: 1.
