2020 3-Move WTM (Moiseyev vs Scarpetta) - Petal, MS
Originally Scheduled... March 11-19 (free day March 15). Match (32 games) will be hosted at the International Checkers Hall of Fame in Petal, Mississippi; However, the Coronavirus - "Wuhan, China virus," now a global pandemic stopped Sergio from leaving Italy. Our tentative dates, are rescheduled June 8-16 using the same tournament format. I modified the original schedule to fit the June 8-16 dates. I will post changes if they make or implement more changes.
Independent 3-Move World Title Match: Alex Moiseyev (USA, challenger) and current 3-move World Champion, Sergio Scarpetta (Italy) have agreed to play a World Title Match via an Independent Challenge on June 8-16 (free day Friday, June 12). Match (32 games) will be hosted at the International Checkers Hall of Fame in Petal, Mississippi. Referee - Charles Walker.Hello, everyone !
Today I exchanged information with Sergio and we've got final agreement with
dates.
1) We plan to play in ICHF on June 8 (Monday) thru June 16 (Tuesday).
2) Break day - June 12, Friday.
3) Sergio plan to arrive probably on Friday, June 5 but needs to check tickets.
4). Me and Sergio finally adjusted match prize and made it $7,000 for Sergio
(instead $8,000) *
5) Richard, I think you can send $4,000 which we collected to Charles.
6) Joe, you also can send $3,000 to Charles.
7) Richard, you have to check with ACF and WCDF to identify - what amount they
can provide to cover Sergio ticket … and maybe his companion (Sergio said that
more likely he will not have companion)
8) I will try to find someone who can organize broadcasting.
* Financial aspect of match is simple: Sergio will receive $7,000 and I will
play for title. All Sergio transportation expanses will be fully covered. ICHF
will cover all accommodation and food expanses for both players. I am working
now on broadcasting coverage and looking for any volunteers who might be
interesting to step forward and do online life time coverage. Stay on for more
