2002 World 11-Man Ballot World Championship Match
(Moiseyev vs Lowder) October 11-14th at the Parks and Recreation Center, Richmond, Kentucky. 20 games, which World Eleven-Man Champion Elbert Lowder was challenged by Alex Moiseyev.  This was an exciting and even contest, resulting: 6W-6L-8D which was not enough to dethrone Lowder.  Each opponent put up $500 and the challenger paid travel, room, & board expense for the Champion. Split purse 50/50. This WCM was played parallel with the Kentucky State Open 11-13th but in a separate and special room.  Eleven-Man Ballot is the true test of an accomplished crossboard player's ability to visualize.  In this style of checkers, the board is set up as normal, using standard American checker rules, but one piece of each color is removed, and then a move for each side is played.  The pieces removed and moves played are selected by random ballot.  This yields exactly 2500 unique starting positions, far too many for opening play to be memorized.

Note: If you search the FEN to the above 11-Man Ballot Opening Positions it can't find the opening because the first set of moves are ballot moves.  First glance, it appears they are playing 11-Man GAYP which some of those openings are included in the 11-Man Ballot Deck.  The FEN should reflect the two removed checkers and the two ballot moves, and combatants' moves in the list.
