The top female ws IM Jovanka Houska with a very respectable tournament, 6/5/11 and in 11th place overall out of 65 players.  Houska secured her 5th consecutive Women's title with this championship (repeat Champion since 2008).

The next closest female player:

38 WIM Maroroa, Sue 5.5 NZL F 2035 2141 +1.34 0 ½ ½ 0 ½ 1 1 ½ ½ ½ ½

and bringing up the end of the list (as far as I can tell):

64 Hoare, Amy B 1.5 ENG F 1958 1693 -2.55 0 0 0 0 ½ ½ 0 ½ 0 0 0


What -- only 3 women playing for the national women's title?  Am I reading this correctly?  Here is the official site.
