*Alex Holmes was declared the winner of the Minor division (since there was not a division) and awarded $100. Food was supplied each day from local businesses for the checker players. There was approximately $500 of door prizes from local businesses that was given away to the checker players. Each division winner received a set of wooden checkers made and donated by Shelby Mays. We would like to thank Hugh Burton and Larry Keen for all the hard work they put into this tournament. ACF Ratings 2/2008  We appreciate the tournament executive skills of Frank Davis - Tournament Director/Referee, and the organization and administrative efficiency of Mary Davis - Official Score-Keeper.
