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.
There was a three way tie for third place. In terms of their head to head games: Andrew beat Paul, Paul beat David, David beat Andrew. The tie breaker in these cases is the previous year’s results. This means the final positions were Andrew, David, then Paul.
