After one long-running recount ended at about 18:05, we got right into the prize ceremony, awarding €5125 in prizes to 13 of the 23 players, a 250% prize return on entry fee in the championship division and an 89% return in the recreational division.

See the Prizes link for a complete list of winners. Congratulations to division winners Nigel Richards (NZL) and Suzanne Dundas (NLD).

After the ceremony wrapped up, eight players stayed behind to play a consultation game against Craig Beevers, moderated by John Chew (with Pramit Kamath (IND) pinch-hitting for a few turns when John was called out for an interview). The final score: Craig Beevers 494, The World 490. See the Games link for the exciting game.

The next Mind Sports Festival takes place in Marbella, Spain on the second weekend of April. If you've got any questions about it, I'm personally happy to answer them for you at poslfit@gmail.com. Thank you for following along with this event's coverage.
