What do you do when you don't get enough teams to run a team tournament? Well, you run a singles tournament! That's what happened to the Ohio Valley Hoplites this February, due to weather and last minute cancellations. We still managed to pull a tournament out of our hats, though. Below are the results. Thanks to those who participated and the Guard Tower for a place to play. Here are the results:

1. Richard Hartley
2. Steve Phallen
3. Jeff Fletcher
4. Ron Holtz
5. Dennis Roeder
6. Andy Swingle
