This tournament is dedicated to the life and career of Dean Martin (June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995), an American singer, recording artist, actor, comedian, and film producer. One of the most popular and enduring American entertainers of the mid-20th century, Martin was nicknamed the "King of Cool" for his seemingly effortless charisma and self-assurance. He and Jerry Lewis formed the immensely popular comedy duo, Martin and Lewis, with Martin serving as the straight man to Lewis' slapstick hijinks, afterward he was a star in concert stages, nightclubs, recordings, motion pictures and television. He was also a member of the "Rat Pack".
Martin was the host of the television variety programs The Dean Martin Show and The Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts. Martin's relaxed, warbling crooning voice earned him dozens of hit singles, including his signature songs "Memories Are Made of This", "That's Amore", "Everybody Loves Somebody", "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You", "Sway", "Volare", and "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?"
The 2018 Dean Martin Memorial starts on Martin’s birthday, June 7th. Time control is set for three days per move and the number of participants is limited to 250 players. Let us make this tournament a fitting tribute to the King of Cool!
