Prize Night Tournament - Handicap Lightning

 

After a small prize ceremony, the annual Handicap Lightning tournament was played.

 

A very wet night with heavy rain contributed to a small entry of five players in the tournament.

 

Metin again joined us on his annual pilgrimage to Brisbane, and played well despite a degree of jetlag.

 

Handicaps were awarded based on ACF rating, but had little impact on the outcome of the tournament, with Mark’s win over Stuart (on time) being the only upset.

 

Andrew Mather won all of his games to win this tournament for a fourth time.
