Even though all three players only lost one game during the tournament, in the tie-breaking process Brandon received first because his opponents’ added up scores came to 16 points, both Mati and Mike again tied with 12.5 points. Mati won second due to winning the rock-paper-scissors tie-breaking contest. Congrats to all three players who ruled the tournament.

Jaak Järve 3 points
Mike Laanvere 3 points
Toomas Trei 3 points
Andy Kõresaar 2 points
Mai Vomm Järve 2 points
Erik Spirka 1.5 points
Mikk Mölder 1.5 points
Shawn Le Blanc ½ point
