As you'll recall, the McBruce Rule says you win a two-session Open Pairs by scoring 60% or more in both sessions, unless someone else also follows the rule and beats you. Seven session scores out of fifty were above 60%; event winners William Campbell and Ted Bartunek were the only pair to get two of them, and they won by two matchpoints! Campbell and Bartunek also won Flight B; Flight C winners Bruce Yee and Robert Dyer won by more than a board, stretching their slim halftime lead with a near 54% second session.

The top two teams missed one another completely, with event winners Rumley taking 71VPs out of 80 in the first four matches, and secomnd place Duryea winning 74VPs out of 80 in their last four matches. Sometimes that happens. The crucial (but close) Huntress win over Batra in the final round left Paul Huntress atop the tournament Non-Life Master leaderboard by 0.28 points!

55 VP out of a possible 60 in the final three rounds vaulted Vazeux to the event win by 11 VP. Under 300 winners Wyman were tied with under 200 winners Tuck going into the last round against different opponents. Wyman broke the tie by getting just 1VP in their last match while Tuck got none; and somehow, the teams following them could not overtake!
