OCTOBER 8, 2006 – LEOMINSTER, MA – Nine contestants were on hand to participate in this annual event. The weather conditions were great, sunny and seasonably warm. This was a great October day, a great day for combat.

At the end of round one, Lloyd Seymour, Brian Stas and Neil Simpson had the lead each posting 830 point, three cut wins. Jeff Vader was just off that pace posting a 725 point win of his own. In the first two matches of round two Lloyd Seymour and Brian Stas followed by Neil Simpson and Jeff Vader flew to one cut apiece draws. The next match saw Brian Seymour edge out Shay Vader two cuts to one. Going into round three it was still anyone’s contest. In the first match Neil got an airtime win over Lloyd. In the next match, the best of the day, Brian Stas and Jeff Vader had a full five minute war that ended in a two cut apiece draw. Going into round four Brian Stas had 1955 points followed by Brian Seymour with 1865 points, Neil with 1860 points, Jeff with 1850 points, Dick Sherman with 1665 points and Lloyd had 1540 points. Early in round four Jeff and Lloyd mid-aired hurting both their chances. In the semi-final match Neil and Dick had an action filled battle that ended in a one cut apiece draw. The final match between Brian Stas and Brian Seymour saw Brian Stas get an early cut, however a missed airtime caused this match to also end in a draw. The final order of finish was Neil (2370pts), Brian Stas (2365pts), Brian Seymour (2275pts), Dick (2175pts) and Jeff at 2150 points. The sportsman division winner was Shay Vader who prevailed in a closely contested day long battle with Richard Sherman and Aaron Seymour.
