The tournament was held September 5th at the Arden-Dimick library in Sacramento. "We had 16 players, our largest number in a few years," reports organizer Willard Haynes. "It was also the strongest field that we have ever had." There were five dan level players ranging from 1 dan to 7 dan. "One player, Jeremy Cook 9k, came all the way from Los Angeles," Haynes adds. The lower division was won by Cordell Newmiller, 8k by tie breaker. Laura Holeman 12k, played in her first AGA tournament.
