I have today uploaded to the BSkA web site some pictures of the winners 
of our October event
http://www.weddslist.com/skat/results/rs11/winners.html, and a 
spreadsheet giving all the hands and all the contract on them, 
generously created by Patrick Phair
http://www.weddslist.com/skat/results/rs11/hands.xls

This spreadsheet lists errors made in the scoring.  There were sixteen 
of these, which is not unusual.  Unfortunately, one of them was 
particularly large and serious, and was entirely due to the incompetence 
of the tournament organiser, myself.  When table 3 handed in their 
scoresheet for session three, it clearly showed that Jonathan Norris had 
a raw score of 472, and 450 for nine games won, making 922.  However I 
recorded his total score as 450 instead of 922.  Because of my error, 
Jonathan was deprived of eight match points, and Bernard Forster, 
Patrick Cherlet, and John McLeod each received two more match points 
than they deserved.  If the event had been score correctly, the first 
four places would have gone to Michael Wachowiak, Jonathan Norris, David 
Parlett, and Bernard Forster respectively.

I apologise to all those who attended the event, and particularly to 
Michael and Jonathan, who were deprived of prizes which they deserved.
