MARK ONE

“WAIKATO PLAYER
OF THE YEAR”

STANDINGS

 
Sixty-three players turned up for last week's Type 2 at FLM. To coin a phrase, it was an evening of the "Underdog" with the top 8 consisting of only one name from the usual top finishers. This is a sign of the depth of good players we have in the Hamilton magic pool and I know had a number of the players on the POTY leader-board not missed the occasional evening of play the top 10-20 would look totally different.
Vance Flavell took line honours for the night followed closely by Ben Guy, Michael Rose, Michael Bond, Lewis Beattie & Morgan Baines. Previous top finishers Matt Fisk and Basil Gammon rounded off the top 8 for the evening leaving most of the usual top finishers, like Eliot, floundering in 18th place or below.
Eliot (728) managed to pick up a point on Henry (694) this week who finished 19th with third place Zac (664) in 21st position. Can Henry's form be enough over the next eleven weeks to catch Eliot and take the trip to Melbourne? Historically, the past few months suggest that a real race to finish line is shaping up and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the Top 10 looked a little different than today's one.
Matt's (646) seventh placing on the night moved him up to 4th again with Brad (602) moving into 5th. A non-attendance by Waikato Open winner, Josh Tutaki (590), and Andrew MacIntyre (575) dropped them into 6th & 7th while the Open Top Master, Twinny (555), securely sits in 8th. Leslie O'Connor (536) moves up a notch into ninth with Lloyd Cooke (529) rounding off the tenth position.
The second half of the top 20 had a lot of movement also with last year's Most Improved Player, Colin Barrett-Hogg (527), inching up another spot to take 11th while a less than average result at FLM dropped Richard Tasker (525) three places into 12th. Michael Scott (513) moves up 2 into 13th with one of the biggest jumps coming from Lewis who shoots into 14th from 21st. Fifteenth & sixteenth are held by Ivan (486) and Stefan Holman (482) while Basil moves up five spots to settle into 17th position. Hanne (472) holds onto 18th with last year's Open Winner Scottmeister Couchman (470) also moving up into 19th. Veasna Long rounds off the top 20 on 468pts.
Aside from Vance, Ben, Lewis, Michael R., and Michael B. the other players to make significant moves up the board were Nigel Lee, Perry Franks, Sophar Rach, Kieran O'Connor & Andrew Barr. Hopefully they might keep the trend going and make a play for the top positions in the last eleven weeks that the contest is running.
The next format is Type 1.5 constructed which usually shows player's versatilities as they dust off their older cards and front up with their combos galore.
