TOURNAMENT COMING UP !

Sat April 9            Plymouth Middle School - Mid. Sch. Champ. Need 3+ for a team.

Note - Masks required for all.

This tournament is to determine the top middleschool chess clubs in Minnesota. A school can have as many students participate as they want but only the top three scores will be totaled to get the team score. A win counts 1 point, a draw counts half a point. So we'd like our top 3 players there. It's clearly an advantage to have more than three which gives us more players to chose from when we count the top three scores. You don't have to worry about doing poorly and ruining our score since you can only add to our score. 

So far Leo, Saarkar, Ben, and Elliot D. have signed up. Anyone else who would like the experience of participating in a chess tournament is welcome. You don't even have to be in chess club - as long as you attend Heritage. It should be a lot of fun.  I estimate that there will be about 10 teams there. Last year we scored 2 points and came in sixth place out of 6 schools.
