Please send results or a link to the complete results of the open section as soon as possible to the webmaster. The easiest format to enable updating of the leaderboard is surname : given name : grade : club : score, but the webmaster can cope with others, but it takes more time.

Current leaders

Tomasz Syngowski (West Bromwich) on 11, Anthony Hynes (Warks) on 10½, Mike Surtees (Bollton, GMC) on 9½, and Mark Hebden (Birstall, Leics) on 9. These scores and the eligibility of players have yet to be validated by the controller.
