Club Championship: Gustavo Leon Cazares
This was a very close race this year with Gustavo and Dave Armbruster both finishing on 6.5 points having drawn with each other and beaten all other opponents. Gustavo wins on the tiebreak calculation making that a hat-trick of victories in consecutive years.
Plate (U1900): Mick Riding
Another close one with Ethan Ross and David Pritchard matching Mick on 5 points. Again, the tiebreak calculation decides it.
Challengers (U1500): Ethan Ross
5 points. An excellent result with some wins against much higher rated opponents. Ethan put in a tremendous run of 15 consecutive wins through the second half of the season which included his 5 wins in the championship.
Juniors: Ethan Ross
Winning the Juniors title in addition to winning the Challengers trophy. A mention here for Gautham Sathishkumar and Joey Pramana who both finished a point behind Ethan on 4 points and were the closest to him for both the Challengers and Juniors trophies.
