Contenders was once again held as a combination of “over the board” matches and online matches. Games between players in the same area were “over the board” and the remainder were online.
Victor took first place with straight wins, and Chris came second with only a loss to Victor. There was a three way tie for third place. Andre beat Andrew but not Rocco, and Andrew beat Rocco. The tie breaker in these cases is the previous year’s results, so the final positions were Andrew, Andre, Rocco.
