Checkers ChampionshipsThe competitive spirit is a natural human phenomenon for the challenge of the game checkers. For the thrill of chasing a new victory, for the power and prestige neatly embedded in a coveted world checkers championship title, or simply because the elemental essence of competition is supremely gratifying.Whereas many physical sports capture a prominent place in the daily newspaper, are highlighted on the evening news, or become the feature story in a leading international glossy magazine, mind sports such as Checkers and Draughts championships, take a humble back seat in the shadows. This is not to say that these championship checkers games are inferior in the total realm of sports, but merely that they have a vastly different and unique audience and playing field. True, the most physical activity in a strenuous game of Checkers is the dexterity of fingers, the stamina of back muscles and posture for hours on end sitting in a chair, bent over a checkerboard and the emotional energy spent in strategizing and trying to outmaneuver a checkers opponent; however, ideally, the ultimate goal within both competitive environments is to play the best and be the best sportsman possible. For many generations, Checkers/Draughts championships have been played on a competitive playing field with tournament rules and penalties in place. Titles and awards have been given to the victorious sportsman. As a result of this arena, the World Draughts/Checkers Federation developed checkers game championship guidelines and promoted the expansion of this mind sport. This governing body encouraged countries in the various confederations around the world to both host checkers game championship tournaments and to send participating players and teams to compete at different levels suitable to the age and expertise of the player. Across the globe, numerous checkers federations, associations and clubs hold a variety of tournament in International draughts, American checkers, English draughts and Brazilian 64 checkers. These competitions are open to men, women and youth in the novice, intermediate and master levels of checkers play. Awards such as trophies, cups and cash prizes are awarded to Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. In some checkers game championships, special awards are also presented for outstanding achievement or exceptional play. Competitive play is reflected in challenging checkers games in the club, district, regional, national and international arenas. Some championships checkers/draughts tournaments have been hosted as a regular part of mind sport activity over the past ten to fifteen years, while others are still in their infancy. However, as more players take a serious interest in the checkers game championships, a greater need for more competitions becomes apparent. Fortunately, both clubs and sponsors are coming forth to meet this new demand in the mind sports arena. Checkers Championships
The benefit of so many tournaments and checkers championships
and draughts championships appearing
in the checkers circuit is that it allows all players
a choice of where and how many competitions in which
to participate. Only in the World Checkers Championships
does a player have to win a seeded position in order
to participate in the match play. |
