The USCF is proud to announce the 2008 Frank K. Berry U. S. Championship and the 2008 Frank K. Berry U. S. Women’s Championship.
These events will beheld simultaneously on May 13th – 21st in Tulsa, Oklahoma. On the weekend following the initial event (Labor Day Weekend), the two top finishers from each event will square off in a championship match finale in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The US Championship Qualifier Open will be held on March 28th – 30th in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This tournament will have several qualifying positions into the Championship. More details will follow soon on all of the events.
The 2008 FKB US Championship and Women’s Championship Organizing Committee consists of Frank Berry, Jim Berry, and Tom Braunlich. Special thanks toFrank Berry as the primary sponsor of the event. More details forthcoming.
The only way I follow this tournament is idf GM Susan Polgar plays. I believe she has declined the last 5 or so invitation.
Sponsors better step up to the plate and make it worth her while to play.
