RESULTS FROM THE 2000 LIBERTY MAY TOURNAMENT |
A total of 22 chessplayers
participated in the Liberty May Tournament, held on 13
May 2000 at Liberty High School in Colorado Springs. It
was a G/40 event with four USCF rated sections and one
nonrated section. With one exception, the tournament
employed a quadrangular ("quad") format, i.e.,
round robins were contested within groups of four
similarly rated players. Because the number of
participants was not divisible by four, the lowest USCF
rated section contained six players, and it proceeded as
a three round Swiss. (See crosstables below.) Larry Wutt organized the tournament on behalf of the Liberty High School Chess Club and Southern Colorado Chess. The directors were Ken Schwartz and Roy Heath. The following players won prizes. Rated Quad 1: Randy Canney, Michael Munafo (tied at 2.5 points; $8 each) Rated Quad 2: Roy Heath, Gerard Sunderland (tied at 2.0 points; $8 each) Rated Quad 3: Evgueni Ostashev (2.5 points; $15) Rated Swiss 4: Blake Brady, Allan Ufer (tied at 2.5 points; $10 each) Nonrated Quad: Seth Allen (3.0 points; $15) |
