Total of bids in Open field = 21,100; 74 players in the auction. 76 actually played the event (from FABN) so apparently 2 signed up after the auction or I missed writing them down.
Horan defeated Sylvester in the finals with van Eijck and Weaver making the semi's. Sconyers defeated Svobodny in the Consolation.
Ed O' defeated Magriel in the Open finals with Barabino and Cather making the semi's. Markowitz over Snellings in the Consolation.
