Congratulations to Andrew Peredun who won the Rapid portion of the Marathon with 6/7, only losing to Victor Plotkin. Victor finished in second place with 5/7.
In the Saturday time-odds blitz, Andrew and Victor tied for first with 8/10, after Victor had boldly proclaimed before Round 1 that 1 minute of odds should be given for every 150 rating points rather than 200.
Andrew was nearly immortalized for also winning the Sunday blitz but finished second to Mark Plotkin.

Prizes
Andrew Peredun 165+55=220 and near immortality
Victor Plotkin 55+55=110
Mark Plotkin Free Entry to 2016 Marathon
Rob, Tony, Anton 20 each.

Thanks to Brian Clarke for making countless pairing and TDing.
