"T" separates player's opponent from player's accumulated game points. Draw is 1, Win is 2 points, Bye is 3, and Forfeit is 4.
We send our sympathy to Mr. Richard Hallett who would have attended if he wasn't in the hospital.
ACF didn't get a bid this year, so we appreciate Alan Millhone, Richard Beckwith, and Joe LoConti for stepping up and sponsoring this GAYP National.
Joe LoConti gave generously to this tournament's prize fund and also a huge contributor to the Borghetti vs Moiseyev WCM, just 2½ weeks away!
Attendance was down this year, total number of players was 23, a first time & lowest in history. We experienced the same thing APCA did, from 72 in 2010 in Durham, NC to 39 this year in Worthington, OH. A 46% less attendance. ACF had 45 at the 2010 Nationals in Springfield, IL. We also experienced a 49% no appearance.
Entry fees was $50 (Master’s) = $500 / $30 (Majors) = $270 / $20 (Minors) = $80 for total entry fees of $850. ACF Membership was required to enter all divisions, and payable at registration. Registration was open Monday evening 7-9pm after Blitz Tourney and again on Tuesday morning from 8:00 -10:00am followed by a business meeting. GAYP National scheduled to start at 11:00am Tuesday.
All divisions voted to reduce the tournament format from 13 rounds to 10 rounds at pre-tournament meeting. Final format was 10 rounds of GAYP, Round-Robin, with additional playoff round.
Dr. Beckwith was the honoree in which this National Tournament was named, “The Dr. Richard Beckwith 2011 ACF GAYP National Tournament”.
The top three places were awarded trophies to all three division winners.
We appreciate Kim Willis as Scorekeeper, John Acker and Travis Weddle on timely posting results on Facebook, forum, blog, and providing live videos.
Richard Beckwith reported on 2011 GAYP National, and ACF forum (Players Rep's Corner) Checkers in Summer of 2011 (and Beyond).
Geoff Yaw of ThinkMedia Studios, the King Me movie producer visited one day to collect some interview footage with Ron King.
Total GAYP Prize Fund was $3,000.00 including $1,500.00 from Oldbury Trust Fund. Master awarded $2,340 or 78% - Majors awarded $465 or 15.5% - Minors got $195 or 6 ½%.
Most of the Blitz GAYP players either played, watched, or visited throughout the tournament.
Ray Shelly of Maryland attend tournament but elected not to
play. Carl Reno and Jim Morrison drove up together from Kentucky.
Congratulations, Joe! |
Congratulations, Alex! |
