Golda Meir results

Great Day at Golda Meir!

MSCC brought 10 players to Golda Meir on Saturday and we had a great time!  This WSCF tournament was a huge event attended by over 170 players!  It was a very nice venue with plenty of space to play and it was run very well.

Some of our younger players - Logan, Nate, Sarah, Anthony, Rishi and Andy -  had some very hard fought matches and good takeaway learning moments.  I love the picture below of players going over games and helping each other in between rounds - this is a big part of what we want our club to be.

Highlights of the day:

K4 U500
- Andy had a breakout tournament, taking 3.5 / 5 points and earning his red wristband!  He also finished in 9th place.

K12 U800
- David had an awesome day - taking all 5 points and finishing in 1st place!

K12 Open
- Both Will and Alyssa had great games, both taking 4 out of 5 points!  Based on tiebreakers, Alyssa took 4th place and Will finished in 1st place!
- The team of Will, Alyssa, Adam and Logan together took the 2nd place team trophy!  They were barely edged out by Golda Meir who brought 14 players to this division alone.

Tonight's Class - 2/1/17

Just for tonight, class will be in the commons.

St. Dominic's 2017

St. Dominic's Determination!!

Wow did we see a lot of hard fought matches at the event in Brookfield!  We brought 7 players to Mr. Matt's IAC-run tournament on Saturday and many of our games went the full duration of time.  In the end, all of our players had 3 wins or more (out of 5) and I don't think I've ever seen that.  It's a testament to their determination!

K3

- Rishi S. led the way with 3-1/2 points and a 7th place finish, followed closely by Anthony R. who had 3 wins and finished 10th.

K6

- Logan O led the way with 4 wins and a 5th place finish, followed by Steven A with 3 wins and a 12th place finish

K12

- Alyssa P finished with 3-1/2 points and a 6th place finish, followed by Will S with 3 wins in 7th place and David B also with 3 wins and a 10th place finish.  Alyssa and David - only 2 players - also managed to capture the 4th place team trophy!

Great games and sportsmanship by all, and a lot of good learning in between rounds (thanks Mr. O'Leary for going over games!).

Most of these players, if not all, will be heading to State in March and this kind of showing bodes well for them!

WSCF Tosa

WSCF Wauwatosa Catholic School

The MSCC brought a group to Wauwatosa today for a fun tournament, with 114 players in attendance.  The nice thing about WSCF is that we can play as a club and not individual schools, which helped our K12 team today.

We had a very beginner group in K3/K6 today.

Anthony R had a great day w/ 4 wins and finished 4th in K3, and now gets a red wrist band!  Rishi also had a good day w/ 3 wins and finished 12th.

Mathias B was the lone player in K6.  He did great with 1.5 points in his first tournament!

In K12 we had a strong group - Alyssa P led the way with 4 wins and a 3rd place finish, followed by Will S who also had 4 wins and a 5th place finish.  David B and Adam P both had 3 wins and finished 11th and 12th.  Together they tied for first place, but took second on tie-break points!

Next up:  St. Dominic next Saturday, and Golda Meir on Feb 4th

Let's get some teams!!
