The two teams remaining teams in the Flight C District Finals played their final 26 board knockout last weekend, completing the 2019-2020 GNT season for non-life masters with 0-500 masterpoints.
Congratulations to Aaron Liebhaber, Adam Siegel, Lee Lin, and Frank Dinoff for winning the 2019-2020 GNT-C Season. Each player will receive 20 masterpoints, half gold half red, and a red ribbon qualifier. Under the current CoC, defending champions also receive favorable seeding for next year – but the new GNT committee will review seeding rules.
For placing 2nd, the team of Damon Suden, Anthony Chiocchi, Mary Ann Oehlerking, and Marla Lawson will each receive 15 masterpoints, half gold half red, and a red ribbon qualifier.
Normally, both teams would have represented New York City and Long Island in the GNT national finals during the summer NABC, with the winning team receiving a $1000 travel subsidy. However, with Montreal NABC and the national finals for 2020 cancelled, the district plans to run a new tournament for 2020 and 2021. All teams will be eligible again for next year. We hope to see many returning teams as well as new players – stay tuned for details.
