by John Loy

The Tournament was held April 19 at the New Song Church. We had 20 players, including four who travelled from Virginia. Here are the results:

Early Bracket (6 players):

1) Andy Swingle - Alexandrian Imperial, 3-0, 239 points

2) Dylan Fraser - Later Hoplite Greek Phokian w/ Thessalian Ally, 1-2, 167 points

3) John Lawitzke - Polybian Roman w/Numidian Ally, 1-2, 112 points

4) Dave Welch - New Kingdom Egyptian, 1-2, 103 points

5) Daniel Moehn - Alexandrian Macedonian, 1-2, 98 points

6) Thomas Moehn - Marian Roman, 0-3, 24 points

Middle Brackett (6 players):

1) John Loy - Mithridatic, 3-0, 260 points

2) Bob Boggs - Early Imperial Roman w/Commagene Ally, 2-1, 182 points

3) Jeff Fletcher - Alans, 1-2, 134 points

4) Tim Ryan - Ancient Brits w/ Early Imperial Roman ally, 1-2, 116 points

5) Joe Merz - Early Imperial Roman, 1-2, 114 points

6) James Love - Late Imperial Roman (East), 0-3, 28 points

Later Brackett (8 players):

1) Mike Stelzer - Early Lombard, 3-0, 244 points

2) Jason Stelzer - Late Crusader/Med German/ Feudal French, 2-1, 213 points

3) Sean Spencer - Later Crusader, 2-1, 205 points

4) Roy Martin - Feudal Spanish, 2-1, 184 points

5) Derek Wagener - Ottomans, 1-2, 108 points

6) Alan Spencer - Syrian, 1-2, 102 points

7) Eric Vang - Seljuk Turk/Ghaznavid/ Ghurid, 1-2, 98 points

8) Nathan Spencer - Welsh, 0-3, 42 points

I credit my success with two things: First, my opponents had horrible dice when it mattered -- especially Tim. Second: Demana was not in the room to jinx my dice! One further point; Mike Stelzer lobbied really hard to be in the Later bracket...makes you wonder.

Special thanks to the Spencer brigade for making the trek from Virginia.
