I was in the pool room during almost all of this tournament. I was surprised that the turnout was so low, only 15 ladies showed up for this qualifier. I'm not sure if this event was not advertized well enough or people did not want to travel to Tucson to play.
Anyhoo, congratulations to Stacey Novak for winning and Adrianne Ferguson on a hard fought 2nd place. Others who impressed me as good players were Susan Williams (3rd place) and Darlene Stinson (4th place).
It was nice to meet Darlene although we didn't get to chat much due to the fact she was on the chat in the computer. She was keeping everybody up to date on the tournament. Looking forward to seeing her again in Vegas this weekend and also Robin Dodson as always.
This was a great event and hopefully it will draw more competitors next year.
