    (this is a new location)



    Registration begins at 8:15 a.m. and the First Round starts at 9:00 a.m.  Please arrive by 8:40 a.m.

    We will play 4 rounds and the Tournament should be over by 2:00 p.m.

     

    Pre-registration is encouraged so we can order sufficient trophies and medals for all participants.

     

    Pre-register each student at:  shorturl.at/mWX36


    Chess sets will be provided.  Children should bring their own snacks.  However, we will be selling pizza and sodas so that we can raise a little money to offset expenses.

    Also, if you know of an adult who would like to be one of our Tournament Referees, please have them contact Mr. Waldmann.
