Attendance for Peoria and Towson

Amidst the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the supposedly low turnout in Towson, I couldn't help comparing the combined numbers from the three main flights in Peoria and Towson:

Peoria - Championship (30) + Intermediate (22) + Novice (5) = 57

Towson - Championship (18) + Intermediate (27) + Novice (12) = 57

I'm sure either tournament would have gotten more than 57 had the other not been held, but I doubt if a single one would have got the 114 combined attendance.

Anyhoo, my thanks and compliments to Chiva and his staff for running a smooth tourney in Towson. That Chiva, who lives in Europe, has been willing to do so much for tournament backgammon in the U.S. the past few years, is very impressive to me.

I do not mean to slight Peoria in any way either...I haven't played there but have heard nothing but good things about that tourney as well.
