Congratulations! to GM Alex Moiseyev of Dublin, Ohio who won the tournament, and has been the World 11-Man Checker Champion since 2008.

Congratulations! to IM Tim Laverty of Graham, as our 2nd place runner-up, who also earned the right to challenge the World Champion for a WTM.

GM stands for Grand Master, IM for International Master, and CM for Candidate Master, which are earned titles given to distinguish players by WCDF.

"T" separates player's opponent from player's accumulated game points. Win is 2 points, Draw is 1, Bye is 3.

Our small group resulted from bad weather in some areas which prerequisited we play a single division.

We voted to reduce the tournament to 8 rounds over three days, playing 3 rounds Thursday & Friday, and 2 rounds Saturday.

Tim Laverty was our official referee and scorekeeper. 11-Man Deck & System
