Ten players came out to compete in Ashland Quick XXXI. The quick ratings balanced nicely allowing a top quad and a swiss section for the other 6. We had a strong player visiting from California in the name of Scott Manson but in the first round Ethan Winter snagged the upset from Scott. In round two Gil Holmes took one from Winter. After the smoke had cleared Scott Mason(1964) and Ethan Winter(1696) split first with two points each.
In the Swiss section, there were more upsets with no one taking full control. Julie Sheil had upset wins from Mike Mayfield and Daniel Smith, Riku Koivusalo took points from Daniel Smith and Julie Shiel. Shaun McCoy snagged wins from Christian Dunlap and a rd 3 win from Riku Koivusalo. Mike Mayfield claimed victories against Sheil and winning the R and p endgame against Dunlap. This battle royale ended with a four way tie for first with Mike Mayfield(1422), Riku Koivusalo(1237P5), Shaun McCoy(1210P16) and Julie Sheil(1112P25) each having two points.
