2015 South Bend Pool & International Checker Ratings

SOUTH BEND POOL CHECKER RATINGS                               NOVEMBER 2015  
Here are the new ratings after the 17th Annual Pool Checker Festival in South Bend, Indiana, Nov. 21, 2015.  They were calculated using the linear approximation formula from the old Official Chess Handbook.  They are based on South Bend playing history only, except that new players who have National ratings are started out with their National ratings and modified with their South Bend results. Winner of the tournament was Wayne Lockheart, from Toledo, Ohio. Capital letters indicate players in this year's tournament.  Other players kept their ratings from earlier years. [+ indicates deceased players] (Note this is only for 64-Square Pool Checkers.  Big-Board ratings are on a separate list below.)
