Sunday Open Swiss Teams

Winners: Jacob (A), Anderson (B) (C)

59 VPs of a possible 60 left Jacob ahead by 4VP at the end.  Angus was the only undefeated team but a tie and a few single-digit wins held them to third.  Second was Anderson, who scored a 19-1 win in the final round against a contending team and won strat X!  A software glitch seems to have awarded only one place in X which I think should be five places; we'll post the revision when we get it.

Swiss Teams event with 6 matches of 8 boards, scored in Victory Points (maximum 20 per match.  Strat limits (by team average): A: 3000+ / X: 0 - 3000. nbsp;
Average masterpoints for players in this event: 3619
