'08 Spingold/Wagar Pool

[Aberlour10]

I think, it's the first year in the history of North American Championships in which both major team trophy's have been won exclusively by players from oversea, both by four handed teams.

I readily admit that I've ignored the Wagnar completely.

 

I was curious whether or not the winners of the Wagnar had a client playing for them. (My decision to select Gromov to win the Spingold was largely based on the fact that this was a strong team that wasn't bogged down by a sponsor)

The fact that they were only 4-handed didn't affect your decision? :P

Were they playing in the morning side games?

Congrats, Arend! Your picked a pretty middle-of-the-pack Spingold, but were powered victory by totally p0wning the Wagar picks.

I'm a little late here, but shouldn't there be some penalty for picking as the losing semi-finalists two teams (Westheimer & Simon) who played in the semi's and picking for second the team that played the winner in the semi's? :P
