I don't have all of the results from the two player event. I believe there were 26 participants. The format was single elimination with byes delayed to the second round.
I didn't get to see a lot of this event since I was running my event at the same time and most of the games were played in a different room. I would like to note that except for my game with Mike, I had an inordinate amount of good luck at the start of my other 4 two player games.
65 people participated in the multiplayer event this year. 46 heat games were played along with 4 semifinal games and a final. The participation level was similar to last year, except that significantly more of the semifinal qualifiers had conflicts. I felt that the semifinals were weaker this year compared to last year. Though as it turned out most of the top seeded players took early exits in the semifinals.

Notes:
Steve Koleszar had an uncharacteristically poor heat round showing. When putting together the last game before the deadline, which we thought would be Steve's last chance to qualify, we had to talk his friend Bill Scott into helping him out by filling out the game. Bill went on to help Steve out of the game early (some friend). Fortunately for Steve a number of qualifiers had other commitments and he was able to get into the semifinals via the back door and go on to win the event.
Kurt Litscher had probably the most legendary titan. In one game his titan stack killed 6 serpents and all 10 colossus. In the final battle of that game his 24-4 titan was easily killing colossus with a single blow.
We had a lot of family members competing against each other this year including the Ellsworths, Koleszars, Nieds, Prokschs, Shambedas, Robbert Masso and his sister Margaret Meachum.
