MEMBERS –  The 2024 Match Play Club Championship is complete !!!

           The 2024 MATCH PLAY CLUB CHAMPION IS ROB OSWALT  !!!!!!

There were 23 members who started the Championship and only one was left at the end.  After winning his initial Match he lost his second  Match and had to move to the Lower, or “Losers” Bracket”  ( an oxymoron if there ever was one !).  He fought his way up the Lower Bracket until he won it, then had to play 2024 Club Champion Pat Weishan, winner of the “Winners” Bracket.  If Pat won their Match then Pat would have been the overall Match Play Club Champion.  However Rob won that first Match and then was required to play a SECOND Match against the Upper Bracket Champion ( Pat Weishan)  in order to claim the overall Match Play Club Championship.  Pat got to the Finals by winning his first four Matches. To show you how well Rob played this 6 month tournament, he had to play 8 Matches winning 7 of them , then had to beat Pat twice in order to win it all.

The Prize Money was based on the number of Matches won, with winning a match in the “Winners’ Bracket” paying slightly more than a win in the ‘Losers’ Bracket.”

ROB OSWALT            $ 400    1 win in upper bracket; 8 wins in lower bracket

Another successful Club Championship!!  Thank you for everyone who played.  In 2023 we didn’t have a winner until late November; this year we finished in late September.

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ED ROSENBLOOM ( Winner of Multiple Club Championships  and Senior Club Championships) for expediting the tournament.  He was the reason we finished up before the Fall General Meeting and Scramble.

Prize money will be in the Blitz envelopes on 08 Oct for those who play the Blitz.  I will have the rest to give out at the Oct 22 Fall Scramble.  For those who will not attend either, please email me for details on how to get your prize money.  (  johnbepko@cox.net)
