I can confirm the 136 players. As a new player, I didn't recognize the winners - other than Larry Jones (a man that I trade with from Kansas) who was 5th.
The 136 received a tournament strike. 62 coins were "raffled" at a cost of $75 apiece. The 199th coin was donated to the club; the 200th coin went to the "host".
It was a fairly even tournament - except for the winner. Session winners received SILVER STRIKE polo shirts.

The setting and the accompanying events were well run with good food and drinks.My only improvement comment would be to consider having a reasonable fee (including some premium) for a second player staying in the same room. Mike C SS#321
