Dear friends,
I attach herewith results of Inter-Zonal National Carrom Championship organised by All India Carrom Federation and hosted by Union Territory Pondicherry Carrom Association from 30th November to 2nd December 2012. It is a National Ranking Championship having a bearing on the selection of Indian Team.
The results are very interesting and Men Singles event was a repeat of World Championship. A young boy hailing from Moradabad city of U.P. in India, Mohd Gufran defeated Prakash Gaikwad 25-18, 25-16 in Quarter-final, C. Bharathidasan by 25-15, 25-12 in Semi-final and Yogesh Pardeshi by 25-11, 25-14 in final. He was outstanding and displayed highest level of skill and surprised all players with his thrilling and exciting finishes.
The All India Carrom Federation has distributed the whole country in six zones for carrom purposes - North, East, West, South, North East and Institution. Institution Zone is not a geographical zone. Since players belonging to State Associations can only participate in five zonal championshis, a special zone was created to have the representation from affiliated Institutions. 30 State Associations field their selected teams in their respective zones. Six men and six women players were selected from each zone on the basis of their performance in five zonal championships and one Institution National Championship. Those 12 players from each of the six zones participated in the Inter Zonal National Carrom Championship.
Mr. S. Udaya Kumar was the Organising Secretary and as a host they provided completely free boarding, lodging, transport and wonderful trophies to all participants for four days.
The Institution National Carrom Championship along with a carrom tournament for Blinds was organised in one of the Shopping Malls with high foot fall situated at prime location in Gurgaon, part of National Capital Region of Delhi. I shall be sending the report, results and photos of this event separately.
The All India Carrom Federation is organising two major events together i.e. Sub-Junior National & Inter-State Carrom Championship (for boys and girls under 14 years and 12 years of age) and All India Federation Cup Carrom Tournament (A National Ranking Tournament for senior players) from 25th to 30th December 2012 at Kolkata, West Bengal. Both the events will be played together on 64 boards for six days. The host i.e. Carrom (29") Association of Bengal will be providing completely free hospitality to about 700 participants from 30 State Associations and 17 Institutions.
