These pictures were taken by Nancy Shack at the tournament. As she wrote in her email, "Please feel free to repost the photos to the official site, if that's feasible. That might be better than adding a link to mine, because one never knows how permanent a site is. If I change providers the photos might disappear." Thanks, Nancy!
