District 4 Checker Champion
ACF District 4 Tournament - November 3rd - 5th, 2005 - Quality
Inn, Lexington, NC Finish Position determined by points, then: honor points - most wins - least losses
ACF District 4 Tournament - November 3rd - 5th, 2005 - Quality
Inn, Lexington, NC - Tournament Score Sheet Larry Michael always directs a model checker tournament, this
D4 was no exception. Quality Inn is an ideal location. The playing room is more
than adequate, and the rooms and the continental breakfast bar are excellent and
reasonably priced. It takes an extra business effort with negotiation to acquire
great facilities and assemble a rich cash purse with abundant door prizes.
This year Larry gave out over 25 titles from the Robert Armstrong Library he
acquired last year. These books were all original print, gilded lettered
hardback covers, most still having their dust covers and all in good to excellent
condition. There are a few of the titles I recall: Midwest Checkers - two
books, Boland Borders and Boland Bridges, Halls 3 move Manuscript and 3 Move
Supplement - 2 books, Lees Guide, Fraser Inferno, Shuffet Checkers the Tinsley
Way, Ryan Tricks, Traps, and Shots, Jensen Forced Checkers, Basil Case Best
3-Moves and supplement / correction - 2 books, Chernev Complete Checker
Player, Wiswell World Championship
Checkers, Wiswell 20th Century Checkers, Several Match books and Tournament books,
and many other classic titles. All who attended,
enjoyed this wonderful checker ty, plus the beautiful autumn weather with the
trees at their color peak. Lexington is the home of world famous Bar-B-Que.
A Big "Thank You" to Paul & Glenda Dingler for setting us up with "Speedy's"
for Friday lunch. This was a delicious
treat.
