The February GTTA Challenge saw our largest single event so far (19 participants), including four players who joined us from Montreal (Christina and Judy Cui, Minh Duong and Louis Sun). Due to the numbers, the relative skill levels and the desire by all to play as many matches as possible in the available time, we modified the format to be three round robin groups in the initial round leading into three further round robin groups for the playoff round.
As it turned out, all of our medal winners (overall and U13) placed in the top group of six, and one of the U13 medalists was one of our Montreal players.
The final match saw a strong performance by Alec Wei to overcome Lucas Xie for the overall gold medal. The overall bronze went to Joshua Su, who also won the U13 gold. U13 silver and bronze were won by Louis Sun and Jermey Yuan, respectively.
