Kevin Wong and Barbra Fontana earned their first titles on the Hot Winter Nights Tour. Wong, who played the majority of the 2007 AVP Crocs Tour season with Karch Kiraly, chose Hyden for the championship match. Hans Stolfus, a native of nearby Solon, Iowa, earned the No. 2 spot with a 1-2 record in pool play and the point differential tiebreaker. Wong earned his No. 1 seed, going undefeated in pool play. In Round 1, Wong and Stolfus defeated Hyden and Brad Keenan, 15-7. Wong kept going strong in Round 2 with Keenan, defeating Hyden-Stolfus, 15-12. In Round 3, Wong locked in his No. 1 seed for the finals with Hyden, defeating Keenan-Stolfus, 15-12. The women were a bit more dramatic, with a three-way tie at the top of the pool among Dianne DeNecochea, April Ross and Fontana. With point differential unable to break the tie, Tournament Director Matt Gage had to flip a coin to determine the No. 1 and 2 seeds. Fontana survived the toss and chose Ross as her championship match partner. DeNecochea partnered with two-time Hot Winter Nights winner Rachel Wacholder. In the end, Fontana-Ross defeated DeNecochea-Wacholder, 15-13, making Fontana the champion. The AVP Crocs Hot Winter Night Tour will travel to Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday night. The East Coast leg of the tour begins on Jan. 30 in Albany, N.Y., followed by Trenton, N.J., Norfolk, Va., and Charlottesville, Va. The Hot Winter Nights Tour culminates at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas on February 23.
