The 101st Illinois State Checker Tournament
Saturday & Sunday - April 1st -
2nd, 2006
at the Illinois Centre Mall, which is
located near the intersection of I-57 and State
Highway 13 (Exit 54B), Marion,
Illinois. Registration Saturday is from 8:00 - 9:00 AM with the business meeting
at 9:00 AM and play beginning at 9:45 AM. There will be four rounds
Saturday and three Sunday. I hope to have enough players for a "C"
division to attract beginners. The entry fee will be $10.00.
A recommended motel is the Super 8 in Marion, phone number 618-993-5577. This is a newly renovated and very clean motel. Room rates are $32.88 plus Tax. Super 8 is located to the left of off the first stop light West of Exit 54B. The mall is located at the 3rd stop light West of the same exit. Turn right at this third light and go to the back of the mall toward the Target parking lot. Park in the lot before Target and the door will lead to the food court where we will be playing.
The American Checker Federation requires membership ($25.00) for all participants at ACF sanctioned tournaments. All Class "A" players must have a ACF Membership to play. Class "B" players will not be required to have ACF or Associate Membership to play this year. This tournament is usually scheduled 1st weekend in April.
