Gleason Wins Tour
Once again class players dominate the tour finish. Neil Gleason pulls off the victory, nosing out Isaak Gabrilovich for the overall lead. NM Alex Betaneli managed sixth place, which was the best finish for anyone over rated 2000.
Obviously, the Class A race was a clone of the overall race. Rodney Draves held off a last-minute charge from Joe Richards to win Class B, while in Class C Luke Kouba and Mike Fixel battled it out right down to the final game, with Kouba taking the top spot at the end.
We would like to take the time right now to put to rest the rumor that only reason Ken Rasmussen ran for the board was to write himself the Tour's Class D prize check. We know this isn't his only reason, as he has had the chance to write himself prize checks in other events, as well.
Finally, Matt Waller beat out Samuel Bell for the U1200 prize in the Tour's most closely fought duel.
