The new 2 day Board-A-Match teams at the Winter Regional attracted 23 teams, 18 who started Saturday afternoon plus five who dropped in from the knockouts, two into the Saturday evening session and three into the finals. 10 teams qualified from Saturday evening's session to give a total of 13 teams for Sunday's final. Sunday we played two complete round robins, two boards against each other team.
Since I was told by some that the event would attract perhaps five tables I consider it a rousing success! While I heard numerous compliments from those who played I was disappointed that many of the area's top players did not enter. While I know that many were out of town others have simply fallen out of the habit of playing in Regionals. They may not have heard about the event, or were not confident that it would draw a sufficient number of teams. I hope this will change if we run the event annually.
