August Tournament Announcement
The next M.A.C. tournament will be held on August 21, at the Crystal Lake
Park District Building. This is our annual Championship tournament. It
will be a four round Swiss at Game/60 time controls (or, preferably,
Game/55 with a 5 second delay). Registration is from 8:30 to 9:15, and the
first round is at 9:30. The entry fee is $10. Trophy prizes will be
awarded at this tournament. We have fifteen trophies to |
|
hand out. They are for Tournament Champion,
second and third place overall. We will also crown a Junior Champion, for
players nineteen and under, and a second place junior. We will give out
three scholastic champions based on school grade, divided as kindergarten
through second grades, third through fifth grades, and sixth through
eighth grades. In addition, we will award area championships based on
residency, for the cities (or near neighbors) of Algonquin, Cary, Crystal
Lake, Lake in the Hills, McHenry, and Woodstock. In addition, for our
players who travel to our tournaments from a distance, we are also
awarding a Traveler trophy.
Since this tournament is expected to be very well attended, registration
on site will be complicated and have long lines. Pre-registration is
strongly encouraged. You may pre-register by contacting Bob, Andrew or
Jeff. We’ll need your name, USCF ID number, and the ten dollar entry fee.
Please see the flyer on the last page of this newsletter for more details.
