Thanks go to Horatio Davis, Jason Mackay-Dwyer, Mark Bell and Amelia Gray for organising and running the tournament and to the Queensland university games society(QUGS) for organising the venue.
Results tables from the tournament open division, first handicapped division and second handicapped division can be found here.
The final schedule of the event has slight timetabling changes from the original copy. Saturday lunch was thin base pizza baked ~20m away, which disappeared all too fast. Sunday lunch was sandwiches/rolls that lasted untill half-way through the AGM before round 6. Due to the freezing Air-conditioning at the tournament location, several freindly games during the breaks were played at tables outside. No photos are yet available however.
Game record from Round six of the tournament, Matthew Crossman vs Fred Huang.
Once more photos from the tournament become available, a post will be made to collect them together.
