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."
