Many thanks to the almost 150 entrants who helped make the Cherry Blossom Championship in Herndon VA May 9-12 a spectacular success; our sponsors Gammon Stuff, Gammon Guys and DC-area players; and first-rate staff including Barry Silliman, Ben Friesen, Kent Goulding, Julius High, Jeb and Robin Horton, Paul Horton, and Andy Lindeberg. Congratulations to all those who placed including John O'Hagan who won the Cherry Blossom Championship, Petko Kostadinov who won the Cherry Blossom Jackpot of sixteen spectacular stars, Marty Storer whose 3.14 PR topped the BMAB field, Kimon Papachristopoulos who won the George Washington Masters Jackpot and the USBGF Tournament of Stars with USBGF Founding Sponsor Boris Dekhytar, Michy Kageyama and teammate Blake Fleetwood who won the Nation's Capital Doubles, Jack Edelson who won the National Championship East and will face the winner of the Western division at the LA Open to play for a $950 FTH Board provided by Gammon Stuff. For complete results see www.chicagopoint.com or www.usbgf.org. Brackets for the Championship and Advanced division and Cherry Blossom Jackpot may be found on bgbrackets.com -- thanks to Pat Knapp for posting and Matt Reklaitis for this fabulous resource. Matches were streamed throughout the four-day event by Andy Lindeberg and Ben Friesen. American Backgammon Hall of Famer Kent Goulding provided colorful commentary for the final events and served as Cherry Blossom VIP director -- providing lots of nice touches for the more than two dozen Backgammon Stars in attendance including Grandmasters/Masters/Giants, and Hall of Famers. Plan now to attend at this time next year where we'll have even more exciting offerings!
