The Fall 2006 WCRC tournament at
Berkeley was a big success as over 50 players from 8 schools competed
in our first tournament of the 2006-2007 season. We had players
from 2 new schools compete in the top division: Tom Durham from
Butte College (near Chico) won 1st place, and Brian Pineda from
Goldenwest College (Huntington Beach) won 4th place!
We had our largest women's draw yet, with a new player from UC
Davis - Ji Youn Lee - who won 1st place! Women continue to make
a big impact at the WCRC tournaments: The UC Davis women's team
scored 662 of UC Davis’ 965 total points, clearly making
the difference as the UC Davis team won the overall competition.
A very big Thank You to Matthew Hills for doing an amazing job
of scheduling and managing the draws. We fit a relatively large
tournament into a one day shoot out! Allan Santos and Del Villanueva
(UC Berkeley team captain and coach, respectively) did an amazing
job working with the UC Berkeley staff to overcome many obstacles
and to provide us with a great location for the tournament.
And, THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who attended this tournament making
it a big success - we have grown by almost 20% over last year's
tournament at Berkeley!
