Result of the 1st North American Cup Xiangqi Tournament
To all friends of Xiangqi:
Greetings！
After 7 rounds of intense competitions in 3 days, the 1st North American Cup Xiangqi Individual Championship was solemnly finished in April 30th. Hereby we congratulate the winners who finished in the top 8 places:
Champion –Xi Ming Zheng of Toronto
2nd Place – Song Ri Cheng of Calgary
3rd Place – Yi Qing Gu of Vancouver
4th Place – Richard Cheng of Houston
5th Place – Paul Ng of Toronto
6th Place – Willaim Fong of Richmond
7th Place – Qing Di Wang of Richmond
8th Place – Leo Lau of Vancouver
Regarding this event, we thank the leaders and competitors from other cities including Houston, San Francisco, Toronto and Calgary, and local players from Richmond and Vancouver, who all participated in a tournament where friendship comes first. Also, all leaders have confirmed a long term goal of taking turn to organize North American Xiangqi Individual and Team Championship (run simultaneously), and run the 2nd tournament in year 2008; actual details will be determined either in October or early next year when San Francisco host the 1st North American Cup Xiangqi Team Championship. For more details, please refer to the other document titled“1st North American Cup: Leader Meeting Record”.
In this meeting, all participating leaders and players have shown positive attitude. Everybody agrees that America and Canada should work together to promote Xiangqi activities in North America, and wish the 11th World Cup of Xiangqi in 2009 can be hosted locally, pushing local Xiangqi activity to the climax. The united spirit of everyone has moved me deeply. Once again, I thank everybody’s support towards this event and meeting, and wish under the united effort of all friendly associations, Xiangqi in North America will flourish and be abundant everywhere.
Since this tournament has been arranged a bit rush, New York could not send any player, and Edmonton also canceled the trip before the event due to some internal affair. But they both have expressed their opinion supporting North American Cup, and hereby I show my appreciation.
Through this opportunity, I thank the staffs of the 1st North American Cup, including both worked in front of and behind the scene, who lead to the successful completion of the event. It has enhanced our confidence of applying to be the host of the 11th World Cup. At last, we would like everybody to share the atmosphere of the event, please visit the web site www.geocities.com/wcxavancouver/
To remember this tournament, we will be issuing a special publication, and we welcome all friendly associations in North America to provide written greetings and an passage introducing your association, to let more people know Xiangqi in North America as well as your association. Our address is:
