Eric Grauffel does it again, winning Open Division for France,
and therefore winning the Junior category in Open Division as well.
But unlike last year, his performance was not enough for France to
win top Region in Open Division this time.
The USA swept all three Divisions in Region results, as well as
the Senior category in all three Divisions.



The USA also wins top Junior in Standard Division.
The winner in Modified Division is from Switzerland. There were not
enough entries for category winners in Modified Division.



And since this match is called Ladies Choice, we give special attention
to the Ladies category.
Doni Johnston wins Open Division for Canada.
Just like last year, Canada again has a strong showing in this category.
In Standard Division the USA took the top 5 places, with Jenny Johnson
taking top honors.



Congratulations to all competitors!
