Women's and Kid's tournament Results

This was the first time we held Women's and Juniors tournament and looking at the participation it was a success. We got tremendous participation from the Juniors and many of you played wonderfully. It was exciting to see the new and upcoming Carrom enthusiasts and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.

We would like to thank all the volunteers who helped us in the conduct of the tournament as well as the people who loaned their Carrom boards and stands for the tournament. Without them we would not have been able to conduct this tournament. We really appreciate your help and hope you continue your support to the Carrom group.

Based on the scores of the games, below are the rankings of each player. We will soon be announcing the date and time of the prize distribution and would like to make it a family affair just like our Carrom tournaments.

Jacksonville Carrom Club - Formal Group Structure

Hello Everybody,

JAXCARROM has grown by leaps and bounds in the last year. Our mission is to promote and practice the game of carrom in Jacksonville, FL and have fun playing it. Our goal is also to create a friendly and warm family environment for carrom enthusiasts.

The first carrom tournament in Jacksonville happened by chance and was organized in September 2006 along with Gandhi Memorial Society by Vikas Hawaldar, Ravindra Bandodkar, and Harish Pandit where we had very good participation. Based on the success of the Gandhi Memorial tournament, Vinay Ahuja decided to form a formal Carrom group along with Vikas Hawaldar on September 10th, 2006.

JAXCARROM held two tournaments and had several practice sessions last year. Based on the enthusiastic response from the community and carrom enthusiasts the group increased the number of participants in its first tournament of the year. With more participants came more responsibility. To help the continued growth of our club, we decided to introduce a formal structure to help coordinate the tournaments and to keep the focus on the mission of our group. Following are the new roles of the group.

President: Vikas Hawaldar
Vice President: Vinay Ahuja
Treasurer: Neeraj Kapil
Secretary: Himanshu Mehta

All the above positions have defined responsibilities which will be communicated in a separate email.

The tournaments have had tremendous help of all the players and volunteers without whom we could not have been successful as we have been so far. We want to personally thank all the participants and volunteers for making JAXCARROM group successful and hope to have your continued participation in the tournaments as players as well as volunteers.

Go JAXCARROM! Hope to see you all in the next tournament. Details to follow soon.
