Charles Butros and Stanley Delducco were fourth overall at the break, second in their strat, and scored well in the evening session to take the under-300 strat by about a board over under-200 winners Douglas Johnson and Russ Wing, who had their best scores in the afternoon but got enough in the evening to win by about a quarter of a board.

Despite the massive winning score put up by a very good team, everyone managed to win at least one match and get a match award! The Friday Evening Board-A-Match Teams is a pairs-style event, where everyone will play two or three boards against most or all of the other teams, with Board-A-Match scoring.

How Side Game Series Work: There are side pair games in every session from Monday Afternoon thru to Saturday Evening at this tournament. They are groupwed into three distinct series as follows:
Each series will determine individual winners for gold point awards by summing each player's best two games (even if played with different partners) by percentage. Two 63% games in the same series will get you a very good score of 126% for that series. Adding a 65% game will improve your score to 128%! At the end of the series the top individuals, usually six but depends on attendance in the series as a whole, will win gold point awards! These awards replace the ones you won in the games themselves, unless your session awards are greater (in which case you will get the gold point awards plus the difference in red points). We'll list the leaders each day so you can track your progress.

1½ matchpoints was the margin between first and second/third! Sounds like the 199ers may have found a good nearby nightclub, not enough entries in the evening 199er game for the second time. (When this happens, you get a chance to see how you can do in an open game, and the results are often pleasantly surprising!)
