2011 Eastern Championship

Tournament Coverage

Round 12

Start of round 12, I get a "Director" call from Division A. Those troublemakers! Turns out Looby and Ian were using two clocks for one game. Laughter ensued, disrupting things briefly, before I set one clock to the side saying if either of them got close to running out they'd add the elapsed time on that extra clock as needed. Wonder if that's a first!

An interesting course took place in the Collins division where in Round 9 O'Laughlin played MAJESTY for 125. Round 10, Linn had SOUTANES for 131. Round 11, Bernardina had TRANSOMS for 149, and finally to take the skin, Bernardina surpassed his own play with another: TREASURY for 158!
