Last night's event was by far our new record with 48 tournament players and 20 casual players! Thanks so much to everyone who came out. Also, a big thank you to Annex Chess Club who lent us the bulk of their sets and clocks to accommodate our numbers. We're very sorry about the the delays getting started, our usual end-time has been 10pm and we'll strive to return to that in the future. No one won the perfect score bonus so it will be $200 for next week.
Here are the final standings. Note the female players in bold, 7 out of 48. Not quite 50/50 yet but much better than the national average :). Casual section was roughly 50/50. Next ladies play free night in 4 weeks time!
