Trips to Nashville TN -- and regional-rated gold points -- are featured in the 2007 District 8 finals of this national team event. Any team of four, five or six District 8 members can enter in one of four separate flights:

Championship:  Open

Flight A:   0-5000 masterpoints

Flight B:   0-2000

Flight C:   0-500 (non-LMs)

The winning team in each flight will receive a travel award from the District Board to play in the national finals in Nashville TN in July.

Your flight eligibility is determined by the number of masterpoints you held on September 1, 2006. 

Directions: The site is the Illinois Education Association (IEA) Professional Development Center at 3440 Liberty Drive. From I-55, take I-72 West, then take the first exit (Route 4/Veteran's Parkway north). At the first stoplight, turn left into the Walmart/Walgreen's complex (Lindbergh Blvd.). Go straight through the first light and first stop sign, then bear left around the next corner. The IEA is the first building on the left, behind Walmart. 

Sunday side game:  This is a stratified, sectional-rated pairs event that is open to all. You do not have to have played in the GNT event to enter.
