Draughts President announced dates for Annual National Championship

Oct 31, 2015 Sports

President of the Guyana Draughts Association Mr. Jiaram has disclosed the dates for the Association’s Annual National Championship. The games commence on Saturday November 7th at 10.00am. On this day the ‘B’ Class competition would be contested. This category would be played on a round robin system. The title is now vacant since Steve Bacchus has been promoted to ‘A’ division. Then on Sunday November 8th the ‘A’ Class competition would be held. Only ‘A’ class players sanctioned by the Association and the top four qualifiers from the ‘B’ class would be allowed entry. Game time is 10.30am. However, this category would be played on a six round Swiss system. Players are asked to be on time for the draw since late comers would lose points based on this system.
On Sunday November 22nd the International game contested on the 100 square boards would be played. This contest would be of keen interest since players like Khemraj Pooranmall, Jiaram, Mark Brathwaite and Steve Bacchus who all won their games in Suriname would be vying for the title. However, Linden player Floyd Cumberbatch can be the dark horse to watch. This game commences at 11.00am and the same six round Swiss system would be applied.
The venue for all the games is outside of the National Gymnasium (old canteen area). Entrance fees $300. All Draughts Players countrywide are invited to participate.
For more information please contact GDA Officials on tel. 614-6671, 628-1889, 611-5976 or Mr. Paul D’Anjou on 645-1002.
