The Arthur Niedernoffer
National
GAYP Youth Tournament
The third annual, Arthur Niedernoffer National GAYP Youth
Tournament - Youth event (for 21 and under) will take place
July 21 & 22nd,
before the GAYP Nationals at the Las Vegas Plaza Hotel.
Players and families need to arrive on Friday night (July 20th) at the Plaza.
The Plaza WILL NOT accept Saturday reservations, but since the
youth event begins on Saturday morning that will be no problem. The Plaza
has a policy that a 21 year old has to be in a sleeping room with any
player under 21. It is also suggested that an adult calls to make the room
reservations and mention "Checkers Championship" when calling to reserve a room.
The National GAYP
Youth Tournament has scheduled 4 rounds for Saturday and 3 rounds on Sunday. All youth
playing in this event will play GAYP and will have to record their games.
The younger youth may have an adult or referee assist with this, but should not
interfere with their game. The Expert Youth will use clocks. We hope
to offer 3 sections.
