Updated January 04, 2008

There may (will) be events added or deleted or dates changed. We will update this site as quickly as the sanction agreements are returned. Please remember that we can only supply you with information submitted by the tournament directors. You will also note that we have deleted a few events and added a couple of new ones. The SKA has always maintained a standard by which tournaments are judged. Events deleted this year have slipped in both stature and execution, as well as dropped in attendance and do not meet our criteria. The SKA and its sponsor base has a standard and image to uphold. Those eliminated have not lived up to expectations. We will now try to secure new promoters who are philanthropic in nature or, by 2009, SKA will add more of its own events. Thank you for your understanding.
