District 1 Championship List:
Richard Beckwith to:
My copies of the ACF bulletins go back to October of 72, but 82 is the earliest District 1 result I can find.
Missouri checker association has been really good about publishing our results as well.
Thanks to JR Smiths excellent NC Checkers website for his records. There are links to the newspaper articles covering the tournament as well some Id forgotten about altogether.
When you remember that Boston was the home of the first US championship in 1907, its somewhat humbling. There were only 16 players competing. Won by Charles Barker who seems to lie in an unmarked grave somewhere near here.
