? This weekend, September 6 - 8

You're slipping JR : )

You're too good so it can't be that. Gayle must be messin' with your computer, yeah that must be what's going on here!

[JohnAcker]

I will be there. My opponents are welcome to move the board from the rather warm playing room to any place air-conditioned!

Final standings are up: http://acfnationals.com/south/. Congratulations to the winners, and thanks again to Frank and Mary Davis for running the tournament.

[George Hay]

JohnAcker, thank you for the updates! I'm impressed with the ChessArbitor Pro Draughts you are using.
If I'm reading this right Nick Boatman won Masters by one honor point (MSolk). Bill Gullett won Majors with 23 points,
no tie break needed! By coincidence Nick and Bill had the same number of honor points at 108. Not by coincidence is that
Nick Boatman won Majors in 2011 and Masters in 2012! That is linked from J.R.'s opening post, what a great history the
Southern Open has!

[JohnAcker]

George, thanks. The honor points on the website are actually unofficial, since the program uses a different system. But these standings reflect the official honor points, as calculated by the tournament directors.

I will work on getting the software to use the same formula we do, as I am still learning the interface.

[Alex_Moiseyev]

Congratulations to Nick and Bill for winning Masters and Majors Divisions of Southern-2012.

John's event posting and recording is awesome, great job !

Respectfully,

Alex Moiseyev

[JohnAcker]

Thanks, Alex; I appreciate your support. I will be using the same software to report on the Nationals, but without the distractions of losing so many games!
