Discrepancies
Where a source disagrees with the record on this page, the page keeps the record and notes the difference here.
- The hub calls the DPC a two-day event; Hayes Hunter describes it as eight Swiss games on Friday 8 June with the top-4 playoff ending about 4:30 am, and the Open (a World Championship qualifier) as a separate tournament on Saturday 9 June.[9]
- The hub says Hunter won the final of the Open by 29; Hunter describes a two-game final against Scott Lingrell that he won 1–1 on differential (game 1 by 29, game 2 lost by 15).[9]
- The hub cites Steven Lewis's deck as going undefeated at RamapoCon 3 (event not stated); Hunter writes that Ross Littauer 'just managed to beat Steve Lewis' in the Open, where Lewis finished 4th.[9]
- The hub describes a two-day DPC; Lewis describes the DPC and the Open as separate tournaments on consecutive days, with the Open's 4th place taking a World Championship Day 2 bye.[17]
- The hub describes a two-day DPC; Klema describes an eight-round DPC on one day (from 2 pm to about midnight) and a separate Open the next day.[13]
