The Otto Classic
July 19 , 2008
By Carl Otto

The Richmond Horseshoe Club hosted the 2008 Otto Classic in Gillies Creek Park, Richmond, VA. The predicted high for the day was 95, with a chance of afternoon thundershowers. The tournament got underway shortly after 10:00 am with 24 particpants. While the temperature was still in the 80's, it felt like much more. By early afternoon, there was a slight breeze and some cloud cover, but it was still hot.

The complete tournament results are else where on this site.

Highlites: In A class, Herman Harper edged out Richard Brown for 1st place, but he did not make it undefeated. 3rd place in A class was decided by ringer percentage, with R Brown having 52.45 vs. Glenn Barlow's 51.85%. Who said every ringer makes a difference?

In B-Class, Russell Charity went undefeated against Joe Presho. Joe had 52.94% against Russell's 42.27%, but Russell won in the head to head by 40 to 32.

In C class, Ivan Morton went undefeated, but Hope Presho gave him a match in the last round to finish second.

In D class, Ed Jordan was also undefeated, shooting 3% over his average.

Everyone seemed to have a good time. The food and drink were free again this tournament, thanks to Ivan Mortan and many un-named volunteer assistants. Bobby Vickers and Kammy Luck were our staticians and were able to sort out the new score cards in spite of the heat. and some very creative recording.

Thank you to all who came. We hope you had a good time. To those who could not attend, don't let Richmond players scare you away.
