Before the second session, a trophy and cake were presented to honor the local player (who starts with 0-20 masterpoints) that achieved the greatestnumber of masterpoints during the year. 

The Binghamton Sectional is more than just a local tournament.  It provides a forum to honor the achievements of their local players and the local players take pride in the event.  Hopefully next year we will see more faces from around the region – it’s worth the drive.
