2015 81st Illinois 101 Counties Open Tournament
October 3rd and 4th, 2015
(Usually scheduled 1st weekend in
October)
The 81st Illinois 101 Counties Open Ty will be held Saturday, October 3rd and Sunday, October 4th, 2015, in mall in Marion, IL at the Illinois Star Centre Mall Food Court. (map) and sponsored by the Illinois State Checker Association.
Usually held on 1st Saturday & Sunday in October according to Gene Ellison. Illinois has 102 counties but since Cook County was the Chicago area, with so many strong players they dominated the state checker tournaments and won most everything. Therefore the down state started their own tournament with the other 101 counties, excluding Cook Co., and hence the name “101 Tournament.” In the early 70's the tournament was open to all players.
The Illinois Centre Mall is located west of the intersection of Interstate I-57
and IL State Highway 13 (Exit 54B). Travel west on IL 13, about a ½ mile to
enter the mall. The mall is located at the third stop light west of the
interstate exit. Turn right at this third light and to the back of the mall
toward the Target parking lot. Park in the lot before Target
and the door will
lead to the food court where we will be playing. The food court entrance is on
the north side.
Registration on Saturday begins at 8:00 a.m. with play beginning after a 9:00
a.m. business meeting. There will be four rounds on Saturday and 3 rounds on
