2008-2009 WORLD CAMELOT FEDERATION CAMELOT WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT
The 2008-2009 WCF Camelot World Championship Tournament began on July 20, 2008, with eight participants divided into two four-man round robin candidates groups. Each group member played a best-two-out-of-three-game match against each of the other three members of his group. The two group winners, Michael Nolan and Jerry LaSala, played off in a best-three-out-of-five-game Candidates Final Match. Mr. Nolan won the contest, giving him the right to challenge the reigning Camelot World Champion, Dan Troyka of Saline, Michigan, in a best-four-out-of-seven-game match for the World Championship. The championship match began on February 7, 2009, in Troy, Michigan, USA. A second session was held on March 8, and a third and final session on May 31. The time limit for all games was set at 40 moves in 2-1/2 hours. After sixteen total hours of play, the match was won by Mr. Troyka by a score of 4-1/2 to 1-1/2 (four wins, one loss, one draw), thus he retains his title of WCF Camelot World Champion.
