Thirty-one entrants kick off the new tournament.  The first round shows that, aside from three byes in the first round only, there will be no easy games in this tournament!  Four upsets depose top seeds right off the bat with Wayne Bonnett, Hilton McManus, Jeff Miller, and and Lee Furguson moving ahead.  Nine USN wins vs. four IJN wins continue Allied dominance of late.  Six games voluntarily feature options that bring the game into balance.  In the optionless games, the IJN loses both after bids of 6 and 8.  Mike Ussery posts the IJN's biggest win with a 5.5 POC margin while Rob Drozd manages to win with a Western Anti-British Strategy.  Sixteen advance to the second round for an orderly set of pairings!
