Why this year these two State tournaments happened at the same weekend ??? They were always separated in the past several years

Both are relatively close. Probably IL.

Actually, this same conflict has happened off and on over the last couple of decades. (I use to run the Illinois 101.) A shame -- as both are good events. I know Gene Ellison told me early in the year how the Illinois 101 always picks the same weekend (and had dates posted early in year), and he doesn't understand why KY picks the same weekend. I doubt this conflict was intentional, but it is a good idea for tournament directors to check the ACF calendar (this year's and perhaps the previous year) before booking your dates.

I always remember KY and IL being on the same weekend, or atleast almost on the same weekend.

Not much details this year on ACF webpage regarding IL 101 Ty. I assume - it's the same location: in Marion, IL at the Illinois Centre Mall Food Court ... correct ? Motel - Super 8 at intersection corner ... ? What is room discount rate ?

Hello Everyone:

I leave tomorrow for Ky. Ty. as two rounds are played on Friday. Not sure what happened on lack of Illinois information on web site ? Both excellent topurnaments and try and support both excelent organizations. Be nice to meet up with Checker friends and to play some tuff games of 3-Move.

Nathan,
I'm on phone with Gene Ellison right now.
He says he's glad to hear you may be back next spring and wishes you could come this weekend.

Pal, many thanks to Gene Ellison and you for providing and posting information regards IL ty.

I'll be there, in Marion. This is probably first time

for many years, when plans of myself and my friend Alan Millhone, - separated ! He went to KY, I'm going to IL, where competition and turn seems to be a bit higher. Anyway - friends are evrywhere.

The only bad news is - Gene Lindsay will not be with us anymore

He was almost in my age, unbelievable !

Sincerely,

Alex Moiseyev

Hello Mr. Alex:

Last year in Kentucky Gene and I had supper together at Cracker Barrel and discussed many Checkered topics:-) Gene was very competitive at the board , he will be missed by all who knew him.

Best wishes to all players who attend this week-ends Illinois Tournament. Nathan, hope to see you there next year !
