by Rick Davis
The 31st annual BCA singles divisions concluded play Tuesday, May 15, after five days of play across 11 divisions.
The crowning jewel of the action was the mens grandmasters division where Jason “Dark Horse” Kirkwood went undefeated to earn top honors. In the mens masters division Donald Todd took the gold undefeated while Gregory Kuhl came back from a late loss to claim the open division. Finishing up the mens divisions were the senior and super senior events that were taken down by Carl Coffee and Rodney Thompson, respectively, both players going undefeated.
Action in the womens divisions kept on par as Kristi Carter swept the grandmasters division undefeated. At the same time Stacie Bourbeau took the masters field while Marissa Hallett cleared the open division, both players winning undefeated. Finally, Tommie Keyser pulled out the win in the senior division, finishing well after midnight for another undefeated sweep.
