We are glad Roger Blaine has organized Indiana Checkers and again having the State Tournaments. His directorship is appreciated. Indiana missed having a state tournament in 1992, 93, and 94. In 1995 an Indiana State Tournament was held but with small attendance. Ron Bailey and Richard Beckwith tied for first place, because it was a round robin and they both had the same number of honor points so they declared them co-champions. They missed 1996, 97, and 98. In 1999 and 2000 Blaine organized & sponsored the Indiana State which Michael Holmes won both and then a resident of Indiana was declared its State Champion. Again there was no state tournaments in 2001, 02, 03. Roger Blaine held his first Plainfield, IN State Tournament in 2004. Holmes won it but now lives in Louisville, KY so Ron Bailey was the state champion and Alan Millhone the District 6 Champion.
