Bob, thanks for posting these results. Although there was a combined group with U14/16/18 girls and U18 boys, there were in fact individual winners awarded prizes for each of those four age / gender sections. Patrick can confirm their names, and perhaps you could post an updated complete list. Thanks.

Hi Andrew:

I did go to the website, and there were no particulars on those girls who played in the combined group from those girls age groups. I'll ask Patrick.

Bob

The standings have been updated with place finishes and age/gender groupings for the combined group.

see: www.oycc.ca

Hi Patrick:

U 16 Girls - Kimia Moayyed
U 18 Girls - Linda Fu
