The tournament was held November 14 – 16 at the Hood River Elks Lodge in Hood River, Oregon. Twenty-one players showed up in the middle of a snowstorm. There were twelve "B" players and nine "C" players. The twenty-one players were broken up into three flights of seven each with four "B" and three "C" players in each flight. A round-robin was held with everybody playing each other in their flights. Two players from each flight from each category were put into the finals.
Mark Sullivan and Darrel Stutesman were the "B" winners from the Red flight but Darrel felt he could not continue so John Fleming was substituted for him. In the White flight Dan Louie and Tim Poole advanced. In the Blue flight Tom Thomsen and Marc Smith continued on.

In the "C" category of the Red flight Dave Ehlers and Bob Biggs advanced. In the White flight Ron Hopkins and Kevin Hay advanced. In the Blue flight Mark Bradford and Scott Pahl went on.
In the "B" finals (see charts) Mark Sullivan came in first even though Dan Louie beat him in the final game. They each had one loss but Mark beat Dan by one total point. Third place went to Marc Smith by three points over Tom Thomsen. This is Marc's first foray into the "B" division and hopefully it will not be his last.

In the "C" Division Ron Hopkins came in first for his second "C" division win of the season. Dave Ehlers won his last game so he finished second and Kevin Hay was third.
Dan Louie had the high run of 6 in the "B" division and Ron Hopkins had a 5 for the "C" division.

We owe a special thanks to the Hood River Elks Lodge for allowing us to use their tables. Everyone there was very friendly and cooperative. The Saturday dinner was excellent. Thanks again.
