90 players joined us in our February Winter Wonderland tournament (which would have been a more suitable name for last month’s tournament, but oh well). Of these players, 19 were playing their first-ever tournament, 22 received free entries as female players, and 9 others received free entries as low-income/rural-area players.
Congratulations to our following prize winners! Even score medals were given to players who got 2 points, plus score medals for people with 2.5 points or more, and trophies to the top 3 in each section by tiebreaks. Our special top female player trophy went to the highest-scoring female player out of all sections, with ties broken by section difficulty (with higher sections being better).
