5th Pan-American Tantrix Championship
James Preen wins for Canada!
4693
Canadian James Preen (CAN), the no. 7 seed, took on five Americans in the Final Group phase of this year's Pan Am and finished on top to end Brad's two-year reign at the top and become the first player from outside the USA ever to win this event. Jed Mihalisin (US-nv) was the top US player, taking the runner-up spot for the second year in succession. Reigning Champion Brad Swanlund (US-ca) made a strong attempt to become the first player ever to win a tournament three years in a row (as well as doing a fantastic job of controlling and publishing the results for the whole tournament) and he did finish in the top three, his 3rd place maintaining California's 5-year stranglehold on that position. Links to all of the results and lots of other info related to this tournament can be found underneath the flags below. The 12 entrants for this year's Pan Am Championship, 9% more than last year, come from the following countries and US states:
