 WI State Scholastic Chess Championship

The MSCC brought 6 players to our year end tournament that was run by the IAC, and this time took place at a Marriott in Middleton.  It was a very well run tournament that had well over 400 players!

For most of the players this was their first time at "State".  It's a two day event with 4 matches played on Saturday and 2 on Sunday, all G45 format, so it can be mentally more challenging that our normal tournaments.  But everyone did great and had some fun along the way!

K5

• Jackson was our only player in this section and took 2-1/2 wins 

K8

• Emmett & Charlie each had 2 wins,  Jace had 2-1/2 and Vincent lead the way with 4 wins, also earning his red wrist band in the process!

K12

• Anthony had a really great tournament, taking 4-1/2 wins and the 7th place trophy!

Congratulations to all on some really well played matches!
