Draughts players are scheduled to be in action once again when the Guyana Draughts
Association (GDA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture Youth and Sports stages the Annual National Draughts Championships at the National Stadium Providence on Saturday October 6 and 7.
This year the competitors would be placed in three categories with the senior players competing in groups A and B while the novice players compete in Group C. Groups A and B play on Saturday while Group C would be in action on Sunday. The tournament would be played on a round robin basis.
Meanwhile, President of the GDA, Mr. Jairam intimated that the top players emerging from this tournament would be streamlined to compete in a champion of champions tournament that would be organized shortly. This tournament would enable the selectors to identify the best six players in the country. This list would then be dispatched to the Director of Youth and Sports, Neil Kumar for approval to compete at an international tournament at a date to be announced soon.
Meanwhile, registration for Saturday’s tournament gets underway at 09:00hrs on tournament day while the first piece would be moved promptly at 10:00hrs.
