Aug. 9, 1999
For most of the day today, play at Western was dominated by the feed in draws of both the 16's and 18's divisions. Play was close and exciting, with even a few tempers flaring up.

Th 18's played their 3rd round qualifying matches early in the morning, followed by the 16's 2nd round feed in action. Brent D'Amico, from Aurora, Colorado, said of the feed in tournament, "It's a lot of matches!" And he's right. They are important matches too, as they count the same towards players rankings as the main draw matches, and the winner of the feed ins determines fifth place in the over-all tournament. All of this only adds to the excitement of the feed in matches.
