2010 Shell Youth Active Chess Champhionship NCR Leg RESULT - KIDDIES DIVISION

We got information that softcopy is no longer available because the file got corrupted (?).  Here is a photocopy ...  in a photo format ; ) ... bit crumpled, but at least I have the full list posted here for everybody`s reference.

The top three players who qualified in the finals are Docena (1st), Baltazar (2nd) both having eight (8) points but Docena got the higher tie-break, and Mejia (3rd) with 7.5 points.  Other who scored 7.5 are 4th placer Nanola and 5th placer is Evangelista.  Castro and myself scored also 7.5 each but got the lowest tie-break but this is already an achievement for me, trailing behind the14-under`s players.  Not bad at my present age, 10 years old and 11 months.
