least one masterpoint
race every year since
he started playing,

category last year.

LEO LASOTA
8250.37 points

While everyone
was playing online,
virtual club games
and online regionals
counted toward the
other races, leaving
the robot games and
other generic BBO
games to constitute
the online race.
LaSota remains the
undisputed king,
having won nine of
the past 11 years.

JOHN BRADY
241.62 points

While some form of
online play counted
toward every other

race was determined
by in-person play only,
leaving Brady just 11
weekends to ice his
10th straight title. He
did it in usual fashion,
finishing 100 points
ahead of his most
frequent partner,
Patricia Dovell.
