Very small turnout this year, but still a very fun tournament. We all had a
blast. A decent playing room and very friendly service, which was very helpful.
Jason did a good job putting this tournament together despite all the adversity
that surrounded the PA tournament this year. He also took us all out to dinner
after the tournament was over and paid for our meals. The food was great too.
Unfortunately, the tournament took place months later than usual and fell on
same weekend as the Mid-Ohio, which greatly contributed to the small turnout. We
will try to schedule it next year in mid June as usual. I also have some other
ideas I will share later on. A big thanks to Jason and all participants who showed
up to make the tournament happen!
This tournament was cut from a two day event to a one day ty because of the
small turnout.
The Keystone Checker Trust provided $190 plus
a $20 entry fees made the total prize
fund of $270.00
Good to see Alex Weaver back playing tournament checkers, his last two
tournaments were 2009 NC State Open and the 2009 GAYP National.
Jason Solan added these comments: Yes, this event was a huge disappointment
after all the date/venue switching, though I hope everyone had a good time.
On a bright note, I would imagine this event probably had the youngest average
age of a non-youth checker tournament in quite a long time. Imagine, and average
age of 34 ½ years old when the ACF core membership is 73. Now look back
through NCCA's front page news and see that we lose approximately 20 player each
year since they have been posting the list of obituaries.
Here it the round breakdown: R1 Weaver 3 - Solan 1 | Moore 2 - Wray 2,
R2 Moore 4 - Weaver 0 | Wray 2 - Solan 2 (WW) | R3 Wray 4 - Weaver
