November 2015 Monthly Tournament Results

Below are the results from November’s monthly tournament at Game Preserve. Holy moly, 28 players! That’s our new record, and we were even missing several regulars. Congrats to Phil Grimaldi for winning the A-Division (Go me!) and Carey Fishman for winning the B-Division.

Heads up, we will not be having a monthly tournament in December. There is just too much going on that month. We’ll pick back up again in January.
