This year, the Bladder Grabber was held at Harvey Field, in Snohomish, Washington (a bit north of Seattle). There were 39 contestants from the four corners of the US, plus representatives from Canada and Texas. After two days and about 150 matches, the winners were:
- Mel Lyne, British Columbia
- Steve Stewart, Arizona
- Andy Mears, Texas
- Ron Colombo, Michigan
- Chris Jensen, California
Here's a batch of pictures from Gary Harris. I'll get more soon.
