The ECICL League Championship will be at Heyworth High School on January 29, 2011. Registration will be 8-8:30. As in years past, the tournament will use octagonals (three rounds, G60/5). Awards for the top teams in each division and for the top twelve individuals will also be handed out during the opening ceremonies. During the lunch hour, there will be the first ever ECICL Bughouse Championship (G4) for those interested.
The tournament is named in memory of Doug Phenicie, a Georgetown-Ridge Farm High School graduate who died tragically in a car accident at 19 years of age. He helped lead Georgetown-Ridge Farm in winning the IHSA State Championship in 1989. Doug Phenicie's dedication, maturity, and leadership were self-evident. With the tournament dedicated in his honor, it is hoped that his ideals will live on.
