Many tournaments will happen throughout the season. Chess tournaments are recommended for kids who have earned their BLUE wrist band or beyond. In my experience, once a kid goes to a tournament, they really understand chess in a new way. Often times this is the turning point where a kid really gets serious about this amazing game.
Some tournaments are not rated by the USCF (uschess.org), and some are. There is a USCF rated tournament coming up on Oct 17 - the Hales Corners Challenge. This is sponsored by the Southwest Cless Club, a group which meets Thursdays at the Hales Corners police station. CLICK HERE for details.
Our first "official" club tournament will be the USM tournament at University School on November 21st. After that, we're having our own tournament at Bay Lane Middle School on Dec 12th! Watch this site for details. There may also be tournaments added this year, but those are the big ones!
