 Brookfield East Spartan Open

We brought 4 players to Brookfield East yesterday in a well run tournament by the IAC, with about 100 players in attendance.

  • Luke was our only player in this section - he played very well, taking 3 out of 4 and finished in 3rd place!
K8 rated 
  • Shout-out to Carter, Mason and Austin - all of them stepping up and playing in their first rated tournament which is not easy to do!
  • Carter had a solid win.  Austin took 3 out of 5, and Mason took 3.5 out of 5, just missing out on a trophy.
Great job to all for playing & representing our club well!

 Midwest Regional Championships 

...were held at UW Milwaukee campus on Saturday.  This is a new event that was run by both the IAC and WSCF, thus having both WSCF sections and USCF rated sections.  This tournament brought in close to 200 players and should only get bigger in the coming years.

The MSCC brought 5 players to the event and our teams did VERY well, bringing home many trophies.

Our 5 players were in 3 different sections, as you'll see below, and we took 1st place in every one of those sections!  I don't recall having done that before, so this turned out to be a very nice event for our club!

WSCF U900

  • In this section we had Mason and Austin.  Austin took 3.5 out of 5 and finished in 9th place.  Mason went 5 for 5 and took the first place trophy!
USCF U800
  • Anthony and Grant played in this section.  Grant had two points, and Anthony took 4.5 out of 5 and took the first place trophy!  In addition, the team of Anthony & Grant took the 2nd place trophy!
USCF U1200
  • Quinn was our only player in this section and he took 4 out of 5 and also took the first place trophy!

Great job to everybody!!
