But he won the heavily weighted May Bonus Tournament to move up to 5th, taking his place among the top seven and qualifying for the Championship Playoffs in June. In the first playoff round Gil defeated Jerry Padova, \u00a0while Roger Rondeau beat Greg Jukins and Herb Gurland knocked out John Leonard. In Round 2 Evans defeated Walter Trice (who had a 1st-round bye as regular-season points leader) and Gurland beat Rondeau. In the finals Gil won three straight 9 point matches to take the best-3-of-5 set. Congratulations to the new Champion!<\/div>\n<h1>April<\/h1>\n<div>Rondeau Wins April<\/div>\n<div>Roger Rondeau won our April Monthly Tournament, defeating Phyllis Seidel in the finals. Semi-finalists were John Leonard and\u00a0Joe Moore.

The March win moves him into 3rd in the points race behind Walter Trice and Herb Gurland, within 100 points of the lead.<\/div>\n<div>George Saba took 2nd place, with Al Cantito and Walter Trice semi-finalists.

Walter Trice (hey, that&#8217;s me!) failed to win his third tournament in a row but did manage a semi-finals finish, clinging to his points race lead. The other Semi-finalist was George Saba.

Newcomer Greg Jukins took 1st in the Consolation flight, garnering enough points to shoot up to 2nd place in the annual Points Race for the yearly championship. 16 players braved the wind and the rain to compete in our first Saturday tournament ever, including the long-lost Albert Steg.

The club welcomes Eric Wicklund, Richard Gilman, and Tim Ostis. Phyllis Seidel was playing in her first NEBC tournament in about 20 years, returning to the area after a lengthy expatriation in Paris. John Leonard, a regular at the Peterborough Granite State club in the early 90&#8217;s as well as a formerly active NEBCer, came back to almost win the tournament, though ultimately getting out-jokered in his finals match against Walter Trice.<\/div>\n<div>1 &#8211; Walter Trice<\/div>\n<div>2 &#8211; John Leonard<\/div>\n<div>SF &#8211; Dan Chicoine<\/div>\n<div>SF &#8211; Eric Wicklund<\/div>\n<div>1C &#8211; Herb Gurland<\/div>\n<div>2C &#8211; Gil Evans<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;Points Race&#8221; color=&#8221;green&#8221; border_width=&#8221;3&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;2576&#8243; img_size=&#8221;550&#215;150&#8243;][vc_column_text] 1 Walter Trice 412 2 Herb Gurland 347 3 Greg Jukins 289 4 Jerry Padova 223 5 Roger Rondeau 156 6 John Leonard 144 7 Phyllis Seidel 138 8 Tom Meyer 115 9 George Saba 115 10 Dave Metz 96 11 Eric Wicklund 90 12 Marcus&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-style\" href=\"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/season-results-2007-2008\/\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"qubely_global_settings":"","qubely_interactions":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2964","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2964"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2964\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2968,"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2964\/revisions\/2968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nebackgammon.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
