Jan '10 Post-script to Epilogue!
Take back that congratulations! It's not over until it's over!
A majority of the committee has decided to use the 1987 rules as a basis for the decision to require that there be only a single winner of the championship. Therefore, a tie-break game, Joel and Rob's 4th game for the tournament, was played on 9/6/10 and was also drawn! The next tie-break, their 5th game,will be played on 21/7/10 on the catch up night. This will be their 14th game in the 10 game tournament!
