Congratulations to Bruce for another event win, half a point ahead of Dean and Tony.

Coming up is a lightning night next week. Then the following Tuesday, the Western Masters. The Western Masters is a new tournament for this year, which will run over 5 weeks. The players will be split into groups of 6 based on current ACF rating, with the top 6 playing a round robin, players 7-12 playing another round robin and so on. The final group will be a swiss given it unlikely that the field will split into even groups of 6.

Round 7 (final round) results
