Scottish Masters 2015
30-31 May 2015, Meadows
James Hopgood won the Scottish Masters with a perfect 8 wins from 8 games. There were thirteen players including three visitors from the Surbiton club; handicaps ranged from -1½ to 12. We played a total of 41 games, 8 tps were completed and 5 of the games went to time. Janice Duguid secured a handicap reduction from 5 to 4½. The weather was pleasant on Saturday; Sunday was a bit cold and damp at first, but brightened up later. Both days were windy and this added to the difficulty.
A second competition was run in conjunction with the main event. This was a "horse race" in which there is a handicapped race to the winning post: you make progress by winning games (e.g. for a -1½ to win, they'll need eight wins, whereas for a handicap 12 to win, they'll need just two wins, across the weekend). Hamish Duguid won this close run event.
