Singles play started Thursday after doubles with round-robin play. Each flight, Championship and 1st, were separated into 3 blocks. In round-robin play, each players played everyone else in their block. Finishing order in the blocks decided the seeding for the single elimination knockout which started Saturday afternoon. Finals were played on Sunday. Regional tournaments are an opportunity for players who don't play much to test their skills against seasoned veterans. Often there are some surprises in the finishing order as relatively unknown players finish well. In this tournament while long time great player Randy Cardo won the Championship Flight, new-comers Adam Lassiter, and Gil Rocha rose to the top and showed everyone that they are quality players to be respected on the court. In First Flight, newbie Steve Thurston won the flight.
