The 78th Illinois 101 Counties Tournament was held in
Marion, IL on October 6th, 2012. We had a good tournament but few people showed up. Smallest 101 tournament
that I know of. Eight players plus Jerry Childers came as a guest, but did not
play. After discussions, we formed a single division to play a rounds-robin,
7 rounds on
Saturday, making this a one day tournament. Total cash prize
of $390.00 was distributed.
Gary Ellison won the A class and is both the Illinois 101 Champion and the
Tournament Champion.
In the B Class Bryce Morville and Earl Kennel were the Illinois 101 B Class
Co-Champions, by selecting the middle tied finishers. Congratulation to
these winners!
Ratings from ACF Rating Processor,

morning, 10/7/2012.
The IL Master and Major Champions are the winner of their respective division,
if top finishers are tied in match or game points, then honor points are used to
separate finish position; otherwise, they are Co-Champions, or if the top
finisher is a non-resident then the next place IL finisher below him is
selected. In the event of a single division/class tournament, the Majors winner
is selected from the middle of the contestant field, less withdrawals, if the
contestant field is odd this mid number is rounded down, if no withdrawals, then
the mid number is still rounded down (fraction dropped). When the mid finisher
is a non-resident then the next place IL finisher below him is selected.
Only IL residences may be a IL State Championship title holder or a 101 State
Champion. When an out of state player wins an IL open tournament the player is
recognized as the "Open Tournament Winner." The Illinois 101 Counties Tournament was founded in the 1920s
for downstate checker players at a time when players from Chicago, Illinois
dominated the Illinois checker scene with several active checker clubs and also
home of such checker greats as Alfred Jordan, Joe Duffy, S.S. Bell, G. M. Tanner
and Frank R. Wendemuth.
The state of Illinois has 102 counties. Excluding
Chicago’s Cook County gives us the name, Illinois 101 Counties Tournament. The
first 101 Counties Tourney was in
February 19 thru 20, 1926 the "Illinois Down State Tournament" was held at Champaign with H.H. Lewis winning the title. In
1977 the tournament became an open tournament for all players. This paragraph
was submitted by Roger Doll, Secretary/Treasurer, 101 Tournament.
