ACC Internet Cribbage
Hultgren and Peake win ACC
Pegging Pals events
January 15, 2004:
Happy New Year everyone. We have two more winners to report.
Sarah Hultgren (thats29pnts4me) from Minneapolis, MN, won the
January 3 ACC Pegging Pals single elimination tournament, prevailing
over Bruce McGillivray (MCG3336) of Lake Almanor, CA in
the Finals. Terry McGinnis (ontario97914) of Ontario, OR
took Third Place. Other ACC members in the top eight were programmer
Hal Mueller (_Ha1scrib_) of Hamilton, ON, Richard L.
Pierce Jr. (J555529) of Springfield, OR, and Richard W.
Duckworth (duckmaster1) of Port Orchard, WA. In all,
70 players competed in this Saturday event, the first ACC Internet
tournament held in 2004.
Hultgren is a brand new ACC member attracted to
the organization by the new Internet Cribbage Program. She was
victorious in her first ACC event! It did not come without some
controversy, however, as her semifinal match against McGinnis reached
its time limit and had to be adjudicated by tournament director Donald
E. Ellis (+_LoneStar__) with Hultgren slightly ahead in the last
game.
The January 8 ACC Pegging Pals single elimination
tournament was won by Karen Peake (Peakie) of Hazel Park,
MI. Like Hultgren, Peake was victorious in her first try as a player in
an ACC event, though she is in reality a veteran of ACC Internet
Cribbage, being tournament director for our Monday Cribbage Cup events,
in which capacity she goes by +Lady_Amber.
Taking Second Place was Erica Millman (LadyErica_)
of Houston, TX. William MacMillan (Bristlecone0) of
Cheyenne, WY finished Third as he did on
December 6. Hal Mueller (_Ha1scrib_), author of the
computer cribbage program
HALSCRIB, reached
the top eight for the second straight time, joining veterans Tom
Lewis (pegfast) of Albuquerque, NM and Linda Partain (cheeky_parrot1)
who won the December 20 event. Donald E.
Ellis (+_LoneStar__) was director of the 56-player tournament.
No IRPs were awarded for these demonstration events, but the high
finishers have been entered into the official ACC record. We expect that
the trial period for ACC Internet Cribbage will end — and rated play
will begin — in a few weeks. Watch for an announcement in the March
issue of Cribbage World, or at this Web site in a few weeks. (back...)
