This year's New Jersey Open ended in a seven-way tie for first place.
But two of the players, Tommy Bartell (Pennsylvania) and Saurabh Deshpande (Texas), are not residents of New Jersey.
According to the website of tournament director Ken Thomas, the five players who tied for the 2011 NJ state title are Dean Ippolito, Ed Allen, Dragan Milovanovic, Mikhail Zlotnikov, and David Hua.
