Congratulations! IM Michael Holmes of Louisville, KY wins the 2012 District 4 Open Tournament. | Congratulations! IM Dr. John Webster of Stoneville, NC is the 2012 District 4 Open Champion.

Larry Michael - District IV Mgr. / Tournament Director and Tim Laverty - Referee & Scorekeeper. We had 21 players representing 8 States: 9 from NC, 4 from OH, 2 from VA, & TN and 1 each from FL, IN, KY, & WV.

Larry welcomed all players and visitors at the opening of the tournament business meeting. Dave Beachy gave invocation, and we remembered our recent deceased players, Bill McClintock who passed away October 6 and Jimmy Atkins died August 13th. Tournament rules were covered and players were instructed on playing time limits and other conditions.

We offer a special thank you to Larry for his continued arrangements to hold our D4 at their fellowship hall which is a modern facility with kitchen, nice cushioned chairs, and a spacious playing room. He also negotiated special rates at Days Inn & Suites in Lexington which was a very nice hotel with excellent amenities and breakfast. | This makes fourteen years Larry has served as our ACF District 4 Manager.

We played a single division tournament using Swiss pairing & 156 deck, with only last round repairing if necessary. 2 hour rounds, allowing 1 hour per game. Only a 5 minute time allowance for over time rounds with a 1 minute per move for 5 move, then Referee will judge any unfinished games as a draw or win to stay on schedule. | Bye awarded to lowest point player.

Big Delicious Buffet Dinner (BBQ was from Bar-B-Q Center on N. Main St. Lexington) in Fellowship Hall at 6PM Friday! We thank Larry & Judy for the preparation and serving of our tournament dinners and refreshments and food throughout the tournament.

Players were welcomed to Days Inn & Suites in Lexington by a nice office desktop display announcing "The 66th ACF District 4 Open Checker Tournament"

T separates player's opponent from player's accumulated game points. (win=2, draw=1, loss=0, bye=3) GM stands for Grand Master, CM stands for Candidate Master, IM stands for International Master which are earned titles given to distinguish a player's status by WCDF. B for bye, P for pass, F for forfeit, WD for withdrawal and those withdrawn players drop to the bottom. Ratings are from ACF, Before and After Ratings are the results of a player's rating before this tournament and after it was recalculated from this score-sheet by ACF rating processor, Joe Moore.

Dave Beachy from Sarasota, FL drove 700 miles. Michael and Alex Holmes traveled 510 miles from Louisville, KY. The four Amish players and Durlaw Miller drove in from Ohio over 475 miles one way to get here. | Raleigh Johnson, age 88 and Alex Holmes, age 13 were recognized as the oldest and youngest players. Ray Shelly from Cambridge, MD called saying he and Terry McGrath, New Market, MD wanted to be here and wished us a good tourney.

The Total Cash Prize: $1,874.00 = Entry Fees $525 ($25x21) + contributions & donations.

Many players enjoyed meals and fellowship at Randy's, Lexington Barbeque, Speedy's BBQ, Ocean View Seafood, Country Cookin, and Portabello's.

This was a fun tournament, weather was two cool Indian summer days. Delicious Dinner & Lunch; a delightful tournament & fellowship for all who attended!
