Cambridge Christmas Tournament

Results of the Cambridge Christmas Tournament 28-11-2010, posted by Adelaide Carpenter on British Othello.

Five players (Imre, Roy, Ben, Steve, and me) were there by the time the first round should start, so we played the first round of a round robin which Aubrey set up (he couldn't stay at the venue for more than an hour), with me as the first Bye; however, when Pierluigi arrived just before the second round, we plugged him into Bye's position for the remaining four round rounds and then played the last two games using ranking for pairings in the Swiss manner. 
Final results:
Imre Leader 6.5/7; 
Ben Pridmore, 5.5/7; 
Pierluigi Stanzione, 3/6; 
Roy Arnold, 3/7; 
Steve Hall, 2/7; 
Adelaide Carpenter got the sole Bye.
