July 13, 2013: I found an old
document with results on the 1986 tournaments. They
include players' positions and what scores and individual
scoring I had recorded at the time.
Atlantis won for the second time in its four tournaments. As
in Virginia Beach, Atlantis II took the title, defeating Atlantis
I in the semifinal and Hartford (who had beaten it in its first
tournament ever, at Harvard in April) in the final.
Atlantis I (won 2, lost 2) roster:
10 Brian Corcoran, The Wave (Old Blue): P (2), C (1)
11 Frank DiFelice, Bethlehem: C (3)
44 Kenny Eckert, OMEX: P (3)
45 Lance Manga, South Jersey: P (3), H (1)
46 Rory Mather, Boston: SH (4)
22 Joe Morrison, Bethlehem: FH (4)
47 Manny Oti, Sudamericano: W (4)
9 Donald Rae, Blackthorn: H (3)
Atlantis II (won 5, lost 0) roster
48 Wayne Lumkong, Union County (NJ): P (5)
12 John Malcolm, Towson State P (4)
49 Dan Nelson, The Wave (Old Blue): C (3), FH (2)
31 Chris Petrakes, MOB: W (3), C (2)
8 Dave Priestas, Bethlehem: FH (3)
15 Joe Taranto, Union County (NJ): H (5)
43 Scott Walker, Bethlehem: SH (2), W (2)
16 Jim Ward, The Wave (Old Blue): P (1), SH (3)
Note that the reason I
am able to list DNP (did not play) in these early
tournaments is that until approximately 1990 no
substitutions were allowed except for injury (i.e. no
tactical subs).
