No Report Submitted
Despite qualifying as a Continuing Trial event in 2006 by
virtue of attendance, this event has been penalized one level
down to ineligible status for failure to submit its event report
on time. It will be eligible to be run in 2006 by a new GM only
as a Sponsored Trial event. It will not be eligible to receive
votes in the Annual membership survey
to return until December 2006.
Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

PBeM Tournament:
The tournament began in December 2001 with 24 players vetted
by the BPA for participation. There were three qualifying rounds
and the top four ranking players moved up to a final round. Round
1 ended by 7/14/02 and at that point, eight participants decided
to drop from the tournament. The remaining 16 participants finished
Round 2 by 4/15/03 where another two participants dropped from
the tournament. Mauro Faina joined the tournament at this point
strictly to help meet the goal of having all tables four player
games. He was joined by John Firer who had previously dropped
in order to have four tables of four for Round 3. Round 3 ended
by 7/1/03 with Rob Mull, Henry Rice, Jim Gutt and Stefan Mecay
advancing to the final round.
What is particularly noteworthy in regards to the finalists
is that Henry Rice was the only player advancing to the finals
who came in first place in all three qualifying rounds. The finals
ended on 8/23/04 with Rob Mull grabbing the wood as the number
one finisher. Rice, Mecay, and Gutt followed him in that order.
All four players in the Final Round should be justly proud of
themselves for their overall performances throughout the tournament.
Just getting to the finals was quite an achievement.
