Thanks to everyone who came out and pulled today. Thanks a TON to Joe Drellack for bringing his tables for me to use - thanks to Tony Kitowski, Jon Brown, Dave Hennen, and Matt Lee for reffing. And of course, thanks to my parents for doing brackets, announcing, and registration. There were 79 entries, which makes this the biggest Route 65 tourney to date!

Match of the day: Going off memory, and I didn’t see most of the left hand novice matches as I was reffing the right hand novice table, but I think Eric Lohman vs. Fedell Zarzar was one of the very best matches. Also Fedell vs. Oleg right handed. In the pro division, Yosef vs. Jason Remer right handed was one of the best matches. Also Sam Tabbert vs. Jason Remer right handed.
