Five people being a small-ish turnout, Rob suggested a round robin format.<\/p>\n<p>We had two newcomers &#8211; Julie and Ben &#8211; who comported themselves quite well. There&#8217;s a slightly unusual situation in the results, because in the final round, Rob and Julie called it quits when they were at 2 games apiece &#8211; Rob was down for the night and out of the running, and Julie locked in for second place, and it was getting late. So I scored each of them as getting 1\/2 a match for that one. Reminder that since Julie and Ben were new, they start at an Elo score of 1500. And our rules are that in a round robin tournament, the winner of a match can walk away with up to 4 points, for instance if they win a gammon in the final game. Results were as follows:<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"><!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--><\/style>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\"
