 McKinley Elementary School Tournament / IAC 

On Saturday the MSCC brought 11 players to McKinley for a tournament that was run by the IAC.  It was a great turnout w/ over 130 players in 4 sections!


K3 UNR

  • Sammy was our only player in this section, but he had a very good day, taking 3 out of 5 and just missing out on the awards 
K5 UNR 
  • Mia & Sawyer were our two players in this section.  Mia had a good day with 2 of 5 wins, and Sawyer had a truly awesome day taking all 5 wins and bringing home a first place trophy!  He also earned his red wrist band in the process!
K12 UNR 
  • It's unusual to have an unrated section for K12, and we had quite a range of players and schools in this section, ranging from 6th - 12th grades.
  • Our team was made up of Evelyn, Mason, Grant, Anthony, Steven and Preston.  Everyone had at least 2 wins which was really great!
  • Preston, actually playing in his first tournament took 3 wins and an 8th place trophy
  • Steven took 3-1/2 wins and a 5th place trophy
  • Anthony took 4 wins and a 3rd place trophy!
  • The entire team took home the first place trophy for Muskego!
K12 rated 
  • Luke & Josh represented this section. Luke took 1-1/2 out of 4 and Josh took 3 out of 4, not easy to do!
Our team represented the club very well and took home some nice trophies!  Great job by all!

  • Dean and Evelyn joined this section.  Dean played well, taking 2 of 5 and Evelyn had a very good day, taking 4 of 5, earning her red wrist band and a 2nd place individual trophy!
K12 rated 
  • Quinn was our only player in this section and he had a great day, taking 3-1/2 out of 4 and bringing home a first place individual trophy, and even a 3rd place team trophy!
I was most impressed by our good sportsmanship and notation taking (almost all games), which helped us review the games in between rounds.

Nice job to all!
