A huge THANK YOU to all who played!
61 players played and donated $15 to the American Cancer Society.
2 people, Facty and Maigrey, who missed or could not attend the tournament also donated $15 each, and special thanks to Pauly who donated half of his 2nd place cash prize.
In total, $1005 was raised. I will proudly add this money to the funds I have already raised. You'll be able to see the updated total I've raised by going to this link. You can always donate more there if you want to at any time.
Also, congrats to Frankl who won the whole thing.
Your humble host finished 17th out of 61. I'm just happy I got some POY points.
Special thanks to Biggestron for helping me get set up and extra thanks to all of you who helped attract players by posting on your blogs. We have a great group of people, even if we are somewhat loosely associated at times; and I sincerely care for each one of you.
I don't know if anybody noticed, but there was a March of Dimes tournament that started one hour previous to ours, and they only had 9 players. (We smoked 'em!)
It was truly a great Easter and Passover season this year.
I had a great time playing last night, and I'm very happy that the fund raising is going so well. Glad to be a part of it!

Hey Mike, that was fun! Winning with all the awesome bloggers playing makes it even more special, since you all are a much tougher bunch to play against.
