In a close final game, Brad Sherwood edged out Ed Gilliand 41 to 40 for the championship.
3rd through 6th place are: Ricky Boyes, David Platnick, David Borton & Pieter Villion
The tournament has 3 preliminary rounds. Winners and a few of the best non-winners advance to a quarterfinal round that multi-game winners get a bye to skip. The multigame winners and best quarterfinalists form 4 tables for the semifinal round. The 4 winners are matched in the final round.
