States:
FL, GA, SC, NC, VA, WV - Larry Michael, D4 Manager
(Usually scheduled on 1st weekend in November)
(Friday & Saturday)
November 7th & November,
8th 2014
This year the tournament dates for the District 4 are the same as always. It is the first Friday & Saturday weekend in November (Nov. 7th & 8th). This will be played on Friday and Saturday and will be at Gethsemane Baptist Church Fellowship hall in Lexington, NC. There will be 8 rounds of 2 games each (1 opening) using the 156 deck openings. Scoring will be by games… 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw. It looks as if the prize fund will be at least $2,000.00. If we only have one division, as in the past, first prize will be $500. Entry fee will be $25.00 and registration will be 9:00-10:00 AM on the 7th. A short business meeting is scheduled following registration. Play will begin at 10:00 AM sharp Friday. There will be 4 matches played on Friday and 4 on Saturday. We start of 8 AM Saturday with a two hour time limit per match. There will be no break for lunch. We will play right through so that the players can get back home as quickly as possible.
This year, I have made arrangements for accommodations with Triad Inn in Lexington. Their normal rate is $65.00 per room. But they have given us a special rate of $45.00 plus tax, if we use at least 5 rooms. You must call early for your reservation. They will accept reservations until October 31. Tell them that you are with the Larry Michael group. The number to call is 336-249-0112.
We will have a meal on Friday evening and lunch on Saturday as in the past. Larry Michael at 336-248-8620 or email: ltmichael@lexcominc.net
