Phil Wood Trophy Race

2012 Phil Wood Trophy Race Final Standings

Wild finish creates a tie at the top!

The Phil Wood Trophy (and free plays for all of the open sectionals in the next calendar year) is won by the player who wins the most points at Unit 430 open sectionals.  At the Round-Up Sectional, a knockout win put Aidan Ballantyne into the lead after two days, but when Julie Smith and Peter Cooper won the two session open pairs on Sunday, they took the lead, with Julie needing only a few match awards to clinch the Edie Bonnell.  Julie and Peter were tied for the Swiss Teams lead going into the last round, but Aidan's team, close behind, put up a last round blitz to take the lead.  An event win by Aidan would leave Peter and Julie needing a second, and when word reached the desk that Julie and Peter had lost their last match, it looked like Aidan had won the trophy.  But the final round win by McMullin over Smith placed McMullin tied for first, diluting the award just enough to leave Julie and Peter, who finished third, ahead by three-quarters of a point!
