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 1920's 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, aka "Illinois 101." 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. These above paragraphs were submitted by Roger Doll, Secretary/Treasurer, 101 Tournament.
