Congratulations to Kelly McKenzie, who on Sunday won the Chicago mirror of the SCAB singles tournament. If I'm not mistaken, Kelly has now won three consecutive Chicago-based singles tournaments (including last summer's post-Chicago Open event and the Heller/Litvak singles following ACF Regionals); for his efforts, he chose a boring-looking reference book on world literature. Raj Dhuwalia, who placed second in the tournament, chose a much more exciting Sigmund Freud action figure as his prize. Special thanks to everyone who helped out: Susan Ferrari (who helped with planning, printing, and moderating); Mike Altman (who moderated and helped with the logistics of double-elim); Amanda Butler, Kathy Moriarty, and Mike Sorice (who helped moderate); all the players who moderated matches following their elimination; Eric Hillemann, who provided advice on the format; and, of course, Anthony de Jesus and company, who provided the questions. Following are the final standings from the tournament. 23 players took part, and the top 16 competed in a double elimination bracket following three seeding rounds. I'll apologize in advance for the results below: I've probably spelled several names wrong, and I may have confused the results for a couple people with the same first name. But I'm confident that these results are mostly accurate. --edc Final Standings: (original seed from seeding rounds)[head-to-head WINS and losses] Results: 1. Kelly McKenzie (2) [A. WEHRMAN, BHAN, M.
