Club Championship Qualifier
January 15th – January 29th,
2006
This
event turned into a warm-up tournament when an embarrassingly low number of
entries guaranteed everyone a place in the 2006 Club Championship. We
envisioned more 1900-rateds being directly seeded into the final & 4-5
players vying for 1 or 2 remaining spots.
