This is the second year for the tournament which is an annual fundraiser for the non-profit Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library.   MBWM&L is located in the heart of the Lancaster Courthouse historic district and its mission is to discover, collect, preserve, understand, and interpret the history of Lancaster and surrounding counties through museum exhibits, genealogy reference materials, research programs, publications, and community activities.  The tournament is named in memory of Mrs. Catherine “Treenie” Chilton, a founding member, devoted volunteer, and generous benefactor of MBWM&L.  Mrs. Chilton helped establish the Mary Ball Washington Museum & Library in 1958, and in 1978 she facilitated its growth by purchasing and donating the Lancaster House building to provide additional space for exhibits, collections, and administrative offices.  Mrs. Chilton passed away on July 4, 2006.
