Tournament & Playoffs Results
Finals

Eric Wicklund erupted from the lowest seed position on the playoff ladder to face Matt Reklaitis in the championship finals, which were played during the June tournament.

The semi-finalists were Alex Zamanian and Herb Gurland. Other players who earned a start in the club championship tournament based on final standings in the point race were Anne Bidner, Greg Jukins, and Tom O’Riordan. Congratulations to Eric Wicklund , the 2010 NEBC Champion! |
