UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS!

Good Day at Goodrich!

The MSCC brought 10 players to the WSCF Goodrich tournament today - it was especially fun that we could form teams as a club!

In the K3 division

•  Logan O led the way with a 2nd place finish!  And Yashika P finished in 5th place in only her third tournament and has earned a RED wrist band!  
• Together, the two of them took the 4th place team trophy!

In the K5 division

• Evan S and Gavin J both played well, and together took 5th place team trophy!

In the K8 division, which had most of our players and was the biggest division of the tournament with 50 of the approximately 140 players:

• Alyssa P took 1st place, winning a tie breaker with Kyle J who took 2nd place!
• The team of Alyssa, Kyle, Colton P, Lance M, Adam P, and Nick S took 2nd place!  They were just barely edged out by Golda Meir who fielded a very large team
• Also notable that Lance got two wins in his very first tournament!

Happy New Year MSCC players & parents!

Class resumes this Wednesday the 6th and we're trying to get some teams to the WSCF Goodrich tournament this Saturday the 9th.  This is a good one for all levels, including beginners.  Especially if you have the "blue" wristband and haven't played in tournaments yet, or not too much, please consider this one.

For more information, see the flyer at:   http://www.wisconsinscholasticchess.org/

We'll have at least one or two coaches there to help out.  Please let Dan know if you have any questions at the Wednesday class.

Hope to see you there!
