Apterous Masters 2010

< Previous | Next >

The 2010 Apterous Masters was an online tournament run by Ben Wilson between February and April 2010. 24 of the best players from the show, Apterous and real-life events were invited to play in a knock-out tournament against each other and a group of 'wildcard' entries who entered the tournament via a series of qualifying games. All games were played on Apterous, and the eventual winner was Series 60 champion Kirk Bevins.

Before the tournament proper, a number of play-ins were organised to select the wildcard players. These were open to anyone, and thirty-two people competed for thirteen spaces in the event. As such, there would be two rounds of qualifying, with some players getting seeded straight into the second round. All games in qualifying rounds were best-of-3 matches.

The draw for the first round was arranged so that Masters would play Qualifiers where possible, though with 19 masters and 13 qualifiers, there were three games where two masters played each other. Games were best-of-3 contests in round one, increasing with every passing round to culminate in a best-of-11 final.

The nineteen masters who accepted their places in the tournament, namely reigning champion Paul Howe, Innis Carson, Kai Laddiman, Jon O'Neill, Mark Tournoff, Charlie Reams, Junaid Mubeen, Nick Wainwright, Steven Briers, Kirk Bevins, Ryan Taylor, Chris Davies, Andrew Hulme, Martin May, Richard Priest, Dinos Sfyris, Oliver Garner, Jimmy Gough and Jack Hurst.
