Hello and thank you to all participants for playing! We hope you had an enjoyable holiday as well as an enjoyable event! We again apologize to Section 1 for the lack of a 4th player! We hope you were able to enjoy the games you did get to play regardless

Without further ado, here are the results and highlights from this week's event! Firstly, a warm welcome to all our new first-time participants!
