Three Way Tie in Fayetteville Club Championship

This year's Fayetteville Chess Club Championship was the largest ever with 26 players. The St. Joseph's Chess Club participated this time, with sponsor Patrick Wolf, and fielded nine players. There was a three way tie for first with 3.5 pts. - Bill Orton, Les Kline and Noah Ballinger. Since we only had tropies for First and First Scholastic, Noah got the First Scholastic and Orton graciously had me take the First since he had last year's (and many previous years).
