ROUND 1 RESULTS - MAY 2002

Thank you for playing in the Contest Center's Tournament of Riches. There were 79 competing entries for the May 2002 Round 1 puzzle. This makes 13 complete groups of 6 players. These 13 winners will receive $35 each, or they may choose to continue to Round 2 and try for $175. There is also one partial group with 1 player. The winner of that group will receive $10. Total prize money for Round 1 is $465 this month.
David Smallberg had the top-scoring solution shown below. Since there were 14 groups, you did not need a top score to win. In fact, you could score 6 points lower and still win. The cutoff was at 213 points with 36 on the top row.

Here are the winners and their scores:
 
     219 David Smallberg      215 Virginia Lawson
     219 David Nagel	      214 George Milkovich
     219 Lorraine Nott	      214 Donald Sullivan
     218 David Simmonds       214 Earl W. Long
     218 Gary DeMarco	      214 Kimberly VandeVelde
     216 Burnell Crawford     213 Juanita Miller
     216 Laree Avara	      213 Thelma Friend
 
This is David Smallberg's top-scoring 219-point solution:
 
   S   T   A   T       S   I   P   37
 
   T	   T   A   R   T       I   33
