'08 Markowski Rd 7

2008 Alina Markowski Open      Rd 7 (Last)      2/13/2008

This is the 2008 Club Championship Qualifier. Time control is 40/90, SD/60 with 5 second delay. 

82 Players registered so far, including several house players 

These are results for Round 7  

Twelve players will move on to the Championship Round to join the 4 players who have already won spots - Funderburg, Sussman, Zeigler and Crisologo. So it looks like if you score 5 points you are in for sure and my guess is that at least 2 players with 4 1/2 points will also make it in. Tiebreaks will decide which one of the 4 1/2's get in. The other thing at stake are the cash prizes which total $920, spread across the Classes, so don't miss this last round, you could still be in the running for a prize.  Update - Twelve players scored 5 points, not including Zeigler, who also scored 5 but had already qualified by winning The Masters, so NO 4 1/2's made it in - so sorry you Class A guys, better luck next year! (Kind of like the Padres)
