First off, a big thanks to Kim for hosting everyone all day this past Sunday for the season playoffs. We had a decent turnout with 22 players, and a good solid 6 hours of match play to qualify. At the cutoff, the final standings were:

| 3 | Becker, Adam (1) | 14 |
| 4 | Bernard, Ciaran | 14 |
| 5 | Brdar, Barry (14) | 13 |
| 6 | Blaquiere, Charles (13) | 12 |
| 7 | Manolis, Zeus (40) | 12 |
| 8 | Flitton, John (2) | 10 |
| 9 | Josef, Adam (32) | 10 |

| 14 | Newman, David (6) | 8 |
| 15 | Cameron, Myles (7) | 8 |
| 16 | Smith, David | 8 |

| 21 | Darowski (B), Kim (10) | 5 |
| 22 | Brown, Simon (32) | 4 |
Some surprises in the standings to be sure, but none as fun to watch as the 9 year old Ciaran, who managed to beat most of the top players though the day.
Once match play wrapped up, we had 2 playoff rounds for spots 1-4 and 5-8. The top 4:

Thanks for pointing that out-I added the payout info for the prize pool. We had $800 to split 8 ways after we paid for food, software, and trophies for the season. If you’re interested, I’ve also updated the rules with the details about how money for playoffs is divided for a 4 and 8 player final.
