Honestly, I abused my director&#8217;s position to take the bye, so that I could eat my lunch &#8211; the table I was at barely held the board so I would have been holding my sandwich in my lap otherwise. But I then paid for it by losing my two matches in blowouts. In the final, Larry came out on top over Kyle, and Nathan took the consolation bracket over Bodger.<\/p>\n<p>In the &#8220;B&#8221; bracket, we only had 6 players, and so it finished fairly quickly. Round 1 had Stan over newcomer Stephen, Tim over Mark A, and newcomer Jim B over Julie. Jim went on to win the bracket over Tim, and Stan (who claims to have never previously won a match) taking the consolation bracket over Stephen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>All in all, a good day. There was a lot of discussion about the upcoming BMAB event, which is just around the corner now. If you are registered for it, you should get an email from me in a week or so with logistical information.
