"Thanks to all who attended the Enjoyable Memorial Day At Seattle House (EMDASH). Congrats to Alec Sjöholm on a dominant performance, as well as Chris Grubb and Kolton Koehler for finishing second and third, and Bharath Balakrishnan for winning the class prize. And special props to John O'Laughlin, who won $1.03 for playing a 103-point bingo, the highest prime number scored in the tournament."
