Hey everyone!
WOW, what a great tournament it was up at GLTTC! I was there and Kim did a fantastic job. I was amazed at the turnout for a non-sanctioned tournament AMAZING! AND… here is the Open Single Final that I recorded from the side lines. Sorry for any camera issues. I found out after that I didn’t have it on the HD setting but it seemed to have good quality anyhow.
Here’s some great info about the winner that Kim Goldov sent me…
