 2024 WI State Scholastic Championships at UW Oshkosh

On Saturday the MSCC brought just 4 players to our year end event held at UW Oshkosh, which was run by the IAC.  It was very well run for a busy one day event that had close to 300 players in K5, K8 and K12 (plus another 100 players in the K12 team format event).


K8 

Mia had 2 wins on the day, Mason had 2-1/2 wins and Anthony led the way with 4 wins and an 11th place finish (actually tied for 6th place) !

K12

Luke had 3 points for the day - 2 wins & 2 draws


Everyone played some very good rounds and had some good competition as well.

It was a great way to finish the year, officially for the club, anyway.  There are a couple other events still going on in April for anyone who wishes to join (I'll forward emails).

Looking forward to seeing everyone in fall!

 Grade Level Championships - UWM 

Our Muskego club brought 6 players to UWM this weekend to participate in the annual Grade Level Championships, run by Wisconsin Scholastic Chess.  It was a great event with 375 players present!


Our players did great, and we took home a few trophies as well!


Grade 5

  • Ashton played in his first tournament this year and took 3 out of 5, just missing out on the trophies!
Grade 7
  • Austin took 3 out of 5, also just missing out on the trophies.  Mason won 4 out of 5 and took home the 3rd place trophy!
Grade 8
  • Anthony also took 4 out of 5 and a 3rd place trophy!
High School
  • Josh took 2.5 out of 5 in only his second tournament this year.  Luke took 3.5 out of 5 and a 10th place trophy!

Everyone did a great job representing our club, showing good sportsman ship and playing solid games along w/ notation.






Next up, and likely the last of the chess year - State Scholastic Championship at UW Oshkosh campus - March 23rd - one day only this year!

Remember - no class this week, March 13
