| Name: 1st New Orleans Chess, Checkers and Whist Club Tournament |
| Place: New Orleans |
| Start date: 21 Aug. 1880 |
| End date: 1 Feb. 1881 |
| |
| Notes: |
| This was an 8-player, double-round, all-play-all tournament, but no players completed all their games, and some less than half. We are only given the final scores for Seguin and Wibray, who won the first two prizes. Seguin played 10 games, Wibray 12. I am guessing that the bottom 4 players defaulted to Seguin and the bottom 2 to Wibray. This may not be exactly right, but the resulting error for rating purposes should be slight. |
