The annual Merv Lichty Memorial is held in memory of one of the greatest volunteer we've had in horseshoes. There were 4 former World champions in the "Mixed A Class" and three of them ended up being crowned tournament champions: Edward Neeb (Men), Sylvianne Moisan (Women) and Drew Becker (Juniors). Drew beat Alex Vienneau (who played in Mixed B Class) in a special match. Nicki Stuckless is the new Junior Girls winner, beating last year's champ Joanna Vienneau in an exciting playoff game. Again there were some great games and a lot of shoes pitched in the Mixed A Class. The longest one was 94 shoes where Sylvianne (82.9%) beat her husband Andre (77.7) 43-28. Highest losing effort was 78.04% by Adam Ellis who also bowed to Sylvianne (80.5%) in 82 shoes. Sylvianne won the deciding game (last round) with 54 out of 62 (87.1%) against Drew. Results, courtesy of tournament director Wayne Becker, as follows:
