[imagefield_assist|fid=1719|preset=frontpage_200x200|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=200|height=200]SAINT LOUIS -- Josh Frank and Kevin Dale Johnson duked it out in the final round of the November Knights tournament for an invitation to the 2010 Club Championship, scheduled for March of next year.
Frank jumped into the event in Round 2 with a half-point bye and never looked back. He defeated fellow expert Kevin Dale Johnson in the final round to clinch first place and, more importantly, a spot in the 2010 Club Championship. Frank finished with a final score of 3.5/4.0.
Paul Mechem and Paul Goddard split the Class "A" prize with 3.0/4.0. William Nesham clinched the "B" prize, and Richard Fox benefited from a forfeit victory in the first round when Kevin Dale Johnson got stuck in traffic. Fox didn't let the full point go to waste as he won the "C" class by a half point.
Richard Pointer transformed his recent success at the Friday Action Quad Series into a triumph at the November Knights. He finished with a plus score of 2.5/4 to finish 1st in Class "D". Join us next Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. for the December Knights. The winner in December will also receive an automatic invitation to the 2010 Club Championship in March.
