Chatswood Club Tournament - 8th July 2006


80 players made it to the annual Chatswood Club tournament. With the usual parking problems and train delays, the last of these wandered in at 9.15am, 15 minutes after the advertised starting time.

Chris May continued the good form he showed in winning the Victorian Championships by taking out the top section without dropping a game. His only blemish was a tie with John Holgate, who was making another comeback after another spell.

This tournament may well have been the first tournament held in Australia (or even the world) where on-table lookups using pdas were sanctioned. Many players took advantage of this innovation, with no problems being reported. In fact this alternate method of lookup resulted in less congestion at the standard lookup station, and less litter on the playing tables.

This tournament was partly sponsored by Eurofield Information Systems who generously donated one of their Macquarie WordGenius Reference Library CDs to all the prize winners in each Section,
