It’s the tournament director’s dream. In round 7, the last undefeated, Steve Pleva loses to John Garlic.
There are 3 matches that will determine who wins this year’s ASL OPEN.
Steve currently has 83 points.
Since Jonas Bjorkvist has already won his match which gives Steve another point there.
Steve is also assured of at least one more point since two of his prior defeated opponents are playing each other in Round 7 (Rich Domovic v Wes Vaughn) which will give Steve an additional point.
Should Jim Manfredi win his game against Maurizio Grassi, Steve will get another point for that game.
There is one other match that is critical to both Steve and John as explained below.
Steve is assured of 85 points with the possibility of gaining 2 more points.
John by virture of defeating Steve has 85 points.
James Holt won his Round 7 game giving John one additional point, for a current assured total of 86 points.
Should Larry Rohlfing win his Round 7 game, John will gain an additional point for a possible 87th point.
Now for the kicker:
John defeated Chip Wertenberger in Round 2.
Steve defeated Jonathan Kay in Round 5.
Chip and Jonathan are playing each other in Round 7.
The winner of that match will give one point to either Steve of John.
Steve’s maximum possible total is 87.
John’s maximum possible total is 88.
We won’t know the winner until all the above games are completed.
