Here are the happy winners!

The winners scored 60.42% to top the field (except for a few ineligible pairs due to a surplus of masters).  Second overall and leading the North-South field was Heather Garrison and Donna-Faye Madhosingh with 58.52%.  The hand records for the game were miscopied by the CBF resulting in Boards 23-30 not appearing on the sheet, but the missing page can be viewed online here.
