Rick Schworck & Ken Holman at the 2016 Southern Arizona Senior Games
After winning four events at the 4.5 level, in three different tournaments, with three different partners, Chemainus resident Ken Holman has been 'bumped' to a 5.0 skill level rating by the USAPA. Ken joins Nanaimo resident Theresa Orcutt as the only 5.0 USAPA 'tournament rated' players on the Island.
Ken told VIPA: "I have been so incredibly fortunate to have had three excellent partners that have helped me win these four tournaments. If I'm honest I would rate myself as a 4.6 but the USAPA don't (yet) use smaller gradations. My tournament playing days are coming to an end - I'll be 69 in a few months - so I'm thrilled to finish with the highest rating possible."
