The 2007 Coleco Classic Cup was played at the SouthPoint Hotel and
Casino on January 30, 2007. Congratulations to Coleco Classic Cup
champion Dave Kraehlig (Left) who beat Lou Marinoff (Right) in 7
games. Congratulations to Reggie Stefaniszyn (Right) beating AJ
Sarma in 7 games to win the B Division on his first Coleco
tournament. This was the only Coleco Tournament with cash prizes for
the winners. This was the only Coleco Tournament letting players to
play with Center Left or Center Right, finally solving that age old
dilemma with Coleco 5380. Thank you to our sponsors Let's Play
Hockey and Jim Rzonca, and to Rob Meer, Greg Scoma, and Kevin
Rafferty for their help to make it happen.
