A turnout of 72 players graced the Baulkham Hills Open yesterday (11/9/05)
It was decided that the tournament was a random draw on the first game of 7.
A notable mismatch was Bob Jackman, the 2nd rated player present, being paired up with a novice. He managed to scrape in with barely 300 + margin over her.
That put Bob in pole position to take out the honours and win the comp by having the largest margin (967) over Jean McGiffen (607), Joanne Craig (384) and Jan Serisier (45) all with 6 wins.
Prizes were also awarded to players in ratings groups. Most notable was Diana Field a perennial player winning 4 out of 7 games, I can't remember playing in a tournament where she wasn't present. Diana managed not only being top player in group novice-700 but she also had the high rating gain of the day (+61) both attracting prizes. However, she missed the excitement as she had to dash off to get a lift home and remains unaware of her successes.
John Barker was also not present to collect his high game (568) award. Mark Smith got high word with 149 for signaled.
Meanwhile, in an adjoining room, 24 youngsters were battling it out for Hills Junior Champion under the capable direction of Janice Hoon. Reports came in that the high game in there reached 537. I will ask Janice to write a report on that event and post it to this list.
Mayor of Baulkham Hills Shire Council, Sonja Phillips paid us a visit as part of the Orange Blossom Festival and spoke briefly to each event.
