Congratulations to Ton Hospel, the first two time TPR winner on another truly disturbing display of Perl Golf mastery. Ton submitted 36 solutions (30 valid) ranging in score from 211 to 150. Ton was caught in an epic duel with Eugene, who submitted 18 solutions (17 valid) ranging in score from 311 to 151, who proved to be a worthy adversary. Apparently Ton's recent visit to the homeworld gave him the edge needed to hold off Eugene for the victory.
Congratulations to Martin Carlsen, the last-hour warrior, who snatched victory away from Guillermo Sansovic and won the beginner bracket. Any more performances like this and Martin could earn himself a new nickname...Martian? It was a very different tournament as you know, but it seems that people enjoyed it. Variety is the spice of life! Thanks to Jerome, Lars, Ala and Samy for all the time they put in this week. Final numbers for those who care about that sort of thing: Total golfers: 64 Total solutions: 604 Rick Klement will be heading up next month's referee tournament. Although everyone else probably need to visit the optometrist, I know I can't wait! --Dave
