Intra-Club Tournament Standings
By Paul Haertel
A number of slips were turned over to me at the September meeting. Below are the updated standings. Also, at the meeting it was learned that we do not have accurate attendance figures for the current year and in fact are missing some months records altogether. Therefore, a motion had to be passed to waive the four meeting rule to be eligible for awards - for this year only.
Any members who are interested in receiving more frequent intra-club tournament updates via email, please contact Paul at . If you have any questions, you can also call Paul at (973) 472-5630.
