I thought the tournament was a good turnout. I don’t understand the point system that is involved. For example, many players had 2.5 points. You have the players with 3 points do a tiebreaker. Why not let the other ones with 2.5 points do a tiebreaker as well? There were others who tied for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Should they not be in the running for a prize? These are some suggestions. I received 4th place, but technically I tied for either 2nd or 3rd with others who scored 2.5. I don’t think the system is fair, but that is my opinion.
