Tantrix Tournament Reports

[RexJacobus]

Hi All,

I will be running the 2nd annual Tantrix Trivia Quiz 15 minutes prior to the WTC Round 2 draw.

Joe Ruby of the US of A was the resounding champion last year? Can he do it again? Probably not, but who knows?

I will post Q & A here a day after the quiz

Argh - I'm missing the draw and so will miss out on bettering my third place from last year. Rubbish.

Good luck to all who enter - let's hope it's as good as last year (although, knowing the Kiwi host, it'll fail to live up to all hype).

CONGRATULATIONS! Zormac is this year's Tantrix Trivia King

In a heart stopping final he managed to shock the world by knowing who won the 2009 Doubles Championship faster than Pellepen (who actually won the 2009 Doubles Championship).

Pellepen won the silver and last year's champ JMSC added the bronze to his trophy cabinet.
