This tournament was also the third round of the 2014 QLD tournament circuit.  Being the state titles, double points were awarded for this tournament, with this in mind the rankings have changed a bit and there now a few more people in the running.  Top 3 rankings are currently:

  • Eugeny Lee (GC dojo) – 46 points
  • Luke Marriott (SC dojo) – 45 points
  • Sam Lenton (GC dojo) – 40 points

The full list of the 2014 QLD Season Rankings (after round 3).

The next tournament in the circuit is scheduled for Gold Coast, 3rd August.  The Gold Coast tournament was scheduled to be the final tournament for the year, but there may be one additional tournament added to later in the year as we start working toward forming the squad for the 2016 Soke Cup.

Finally, a few photos from our official photographer: Jane Graham.  These are just a few of the preliminary photos, she was very busy yesterday with 86GB of photos to go through and edit.  So it might be a few days before we get to see the whole collection.
