leading the women's singles.  Bill Pearson and Grant Summers are 2-0 while David Reinertsen   is 1-0 in men's singles.

Sue Sleeper had to withdraw due to illness and Ann Howland was credited with a win due to a forfeit. The score was

the average winning and losing score for that round. One man has a bye in each round.
