Well, West Coast Melee XXIII is in the books, and Matt and I both felt it was perhaps our best Melee yet. Let's start with the winners:
Champion: Brandon Liesemeyer
2nd Place: Ray Woloszyn
3nd Place: David Douglas
4th Place: Sheldon Ryland
We filled a record 4 mini-tournaments on Friday, and added 3 more on Saturday:
Blitzkrieg: Stephan Stewart
Classics I: Sheldon Ryland
Classics II: David Douglas
Everyone Dies: Dan Plachta
Deluxe Redux: Hank W.
The Hills Have Eyes: Bryan Earll
Club Med: Brian Abela
Congratulations to all of our winners!
I'm pleased to report that we had 49 attendees and we were in the black financially by Friday morning. We also booked 73 room-nights, which is an important factor when negotiating our hotel deal.
