2013 South Bend Pool & International Checker Ratings

SOUTH BEND POOL CHECKER RATINGS  - NOVEMBER 2013

Here are the new ratings from the 15th Annual Pool Checker Festival in South Bend, Indiana, Nov. 9, 2013.  They were calculated using the linear approximation formula from the old Official Chess Handbook.  They are based on South Bend playing history only, except that new players who have National ratings are started out with their National ratings and modified with their South Bend results.  (Fletcher, Griffin, and Roberts this year)

Winners of the tournament were former National Champion Al Lambert and the ever-dangerous “Mongoose” Clorius Lay.    
 
Capital letters indicate players in this year's tournament.  Other players kept their ratings from earlier years.  + indicates deceased players.  (Note this is only for 64-square Pool Checkers.  Big-Board ratings are on a separate list below.)
