Miss week 1?  NO PROBLEM - we can get you into Round 2.  Everybody can miss a week- we will adjust pairings based on who is there.

This is turning out to be a very nice event, and we appreciate that all players played quietly and respectfully, if not all of them as CAREFULLY as they could have...  :)

Take Notation?  AWESOME!  Parents- send me smart-phone photos of your kid's notation and I may post a game online (IF YOU BOTH APPROVE).  Remember, taking notation is very important - it allows us to replay the game and see what we could have done better, and what we may have missed.

Post any questions about tournament as a comment to this blog post - Thank you!

Brookfield Academy Tournament Results

Hello MSCC Players & Parents,

The club fielded 15 players yesterday at the tournament which was pretty well attended with over 100 players.

Highlights for the day include:

• Rachel Gomoll taking 4 out of 5 points and 3rd place in K12 for MHS 
• Kyle Jain taking 4.5 of 5 points and 2nd place in K12 for LDMS

The 2nd/3rd place finish was a great representation of the club in a tough division where 1/2 of the players were rated 1,000 or higher

In addition, the LDMS team of Kyle, Aaron, Will, Cole and Brian took the 2nd place team trophy!

Other special shout-outs go to:

• Tom Day (BL) for attending his first tournament, especially in a tough K12 division
• Logan O'Leary (MV) for attending his first K3 USCF tournament.  He took 3 points and 12th place!
• Alabhya Prasad (TC)  for attending her first K3 USCF tournament and getting her first win!
• Nelson Klein (MV) who could have stayed in K3 but stepped up to K6 to make a team with Gavin and Joel!  Great team effort.

I saw a lot of good teamwork, sportsmanship, games, but also way too many that were fast.  We'll continue to work on this next week.  Remember there are no awards for speed!  :)

We will be playing ONE GAME PER WEEK following normal chess instruction. Divisions are K-4, K-8 and K-12.  Prizes will be given for the winners of the divisions, and the winner of the K-12 division will be named 2015 Club Tournament Champion.  The K-12 division will be USCF rated. If you are in grades 9-12 and wish to play in the tournament, you will need to be USCF registered. The IAC (Mr. Matt's organization) will offer USCF signups during class if you need to do this, or you can do this in advance by going to USCHESS.ORG. There are many benefits to USCF memberships, and you can build a rating to work on your whole life!
