Good job team!

This tournament will be USCF rated. The organizers are offering a 7$ discount that will make the one year membership $10.

The entry fee for the tournament is an additional $10. Click here for details.

Unlike the Nov 1 tournament this tournament will have a K-6 section (instead of K-5), which means that the competition will be tougher, and there will also be 6 games instead of 5.

USCF - Is the national chess federation. If one wants to get a national rating (ranking) member ship is required. This is an excellent opportunity to get the membership at a discounted rate.

K-6 means kindergarten through grade 6 will be allowed to play in that section
