Looks like there won't be a "Cedric Thompson Memorial Tournament" this year. (formally known as Milwaukee City Championship) . Thie event was scheduled for 5/3 - 5/4 and was a Wisconsin Tour Event.
Event History (Players / Winner)
2007 31 / BETANELI
2006 22 / VAJA
The winners of the 4 USAT tournaments met on April 12th to determine an overall winner. The team from the South won.
The mainly WI based team of
1) 2282 Betaneli Alexander
2) 2239 Vaja Ashish
3) 2175 Santarius Erik
4) 2003 Magness Trevor (IL)
lost to
"We have Cox"
1) 2386 Robby Adamson
2) 2246 Landon Brownell
3) 2115 Jonathan Cox
4) 2100 Benjamin Marmont
in the semi final with a score 0f 1-3 (Trevor won)
It is a real shame there will not be a Cedic Thompson tournament this year. The Wisconsin Chess Association should have gotten somebody else to run it if the TD who usually did it was unavailable. We (the chess players of Wisconsin) cannot let these great Wisconsin tournaments just fade away.
ReplyDeleteThe Wisconsin Chess Association website is out of date.
ReplyDeleteThere is no place to go to see a list of Current Tour Events
(except on this Blog)
Can the South West Chess Club host this?
ReplyDeleteI believe the official name is the "Cedric Thompson City Challenge." Anyhow, it is "Cedric" and not "cedic" as I indicated on my earlier post. Sorry for the confusion.
ReplyDeleteI am not very happy about this!

Any games from from the North team? None were on the USCF site.

Robin,
ReplyDeleteThe Cedric Memorial is not a WCA event. Therefore it is not their place or business to bail out a local director's event. The event was always small and bordering on irrelevance. Look at the attendance, the Milwaukee players did not support it.
The WCA website is run by the same person that runs/ran the Cedric Memorial. Arlen is busy trying to put food on the table for his family.
The Green Bay site also has a Tour listing.
I think you are mistaken, it was part of the tour last year and was on the the list that given by Guy Hoffman for this year.
ReplyDeleteThe information on the Green Basy site is out of date, they are still displaying last years tour information.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't the WCA update their siet more often. It's May 2008 and there is no information on the 2008 tour. If the person is too busy why don't you get someone else. It only takes a few min to update a website.
A WCA Tour event is not always a WCA sponsored event. Tour status only grants points in the annual Tour. It does not mean that the WCA has any financial interest in the event.
ReplyDeleteThe WCA only sponsors the following events:
Arpad Elo Open,
State Closed Championship,
Northcentral Open,
Junior Open,
Veteran's Open/Senior Championship,
Wisconsin Memorial.
Regarding the websites:
We don't pay anyone for the site. If someone wishes to publish information, contact Mike Nietman, and he can send stuff. I'm only the Tour Statistician (and looking to retire), and no longer on the Board.
The next Membership meeting is at the State Championship. "He who complains--gets nominated!"
Talk is cheap; step-up and help out.
