all 100% winners except ........ thanks to the support from all 57 players...
For 57 players registered, 52 turned up on 1st day, 1 Mar 2008, at the end of day 1, 1 withdrew, left 51 players.
At the beginning of day 2, 2 Mar 2008, 50 players turned up and played for Rounds 5, 6 & 7. 3 more players left after Round 7 and another 3 players left after Round 8.
So, there were 47 qualified players at the end of the competition and 44 players had completed all 9 rounds, the other 3 players completed only 8 rounds.
25 out of the 44 players completed all 9 rounds were from the various xiangqi clubs and 24 were in the list of 29 winners for 2008 Bishan Cup except one Bishan player, i.e. all xiangqi clubs are having 100 % winning rates except Bishan and I believe all clubs including Bishan are happy with the results.
Thanks to the support from all 57 players and all xiangqi clubs. :)

You may wish to know this story ......
one Bishan player (Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC resident but not Bishan East resident) slept at SIXGA after Round 8 and turned up for Round 9 but too late for the game. He could have ranked 21st instead of 31st.
As indicated at the prize giving, the Top 28 and the best Bishan East resident player, total of 29 players were the winners as released.
