Played on Sunday January 26th 2003 at the @Home Community Centre, Airdrie.
A grand total of 82 turned up on
the day, with 9 no-shows. Indeed had everyone turned up we would
have literally run out of tables! We had plenty of sets and space
(just about!), but at the last minute the Centre told us they
couldn't supply the tables so there was a mad rush to get them
(thanks Joe!). This also meant that for the first time, at least
while I have been involved in these events, we had to turn back a
few "last minute" entries, otherwise there would have
literally been no place to put them! The P5 & Under event had
45 entries, making it the biggest P5 heat this year, and we had
to split them into 2 sections.

A total of 28 players took part in the P6/7 on the day. For the
first time that I can remember, the top 2 in this event tied for
first place and after 3 tie-breaks we could not split them, so a

the 'title'.
