3. Nick Filler (7)
4. Jason Markowski (6)
5. Nathan Stevlingson (6)
6. Kolt Otterbacher (6)

For playing games, the following two divisions were combined, then separated for trophies.

Under 17 Open Division:
1. Reid Seghers (7)
2. Gregory Reese (5.5)
3. Evan Seghers (5)

A special thanks to Pam Reese for doing the scoring, for parents who brought food and helped supervise, to Ashish and Alex for helping explain the blitz rules and provide initial Tournament Direction. Thanks also to the Southwest Chess Club for loaning us some clocks and boards.
