Individual Diplomacy Results

This year once again saw a successful Diplomacy Tournament, and with ManorCon now being a stop on the European Diplomacy Grand Prix, we once again had a significant number of foreigners. Friday saw 6 boards. 10+ centre results in round 1 for Niclas Perez, Dan Lester, Jeremy Tullett, Iain McLellan, Mark Wightman, Eve Smith and Dave Wreathall.

Round 2 saw 9 teams, including several regulars - "There's Only One 'F' in Oxford", "Team Fat Bastard" and "TCP", as well as some old teams under new names. 11+ centre results for Mark Stretch, Simon Bouton, Brian Dennehy, Mark Sheiham, Dave Percik, Ivan Woodward and Yann Clouet.

After two rounds, Simon Bouton was leading, but with a very small margin over the chasing pack. Unusually the Sunday results were more conservative than Saturday - usually Sunday is the day for big scores. But still there were 10+ centre results for Cyrille Sevin, Chetan Radia, Jeremy Tullett, Lee Simpson, Ivan Woodward, Demis Hassabis and Mark Wightman.

So, the final results were :

Tournament Directors Award

For his two rear-guard actions in the first two rounds, the second of which saw him, whilst owning only Portugal, orchestrating negotiation on the other side of the board, the Tournament Director's award goes to Richard Williams.
