Tournament ends: 7:30 pm, with an awards ceremony. Return to school around 8:15 pm. Players may be picked up early at Pattonville HS by 7:30 pm.
Cost of tournament: There are no tournament registration fees this year for our players, but USCF membership is required. Players must either show proof of membership or purchase membership at the tournament.
There will be a limited supply of $11 memberships while supplies last. I suggest students bring cash for payment, in case these run out.

ages 13 to 15: $22.00 (add $7 for Chess Life)

Trivia Night is coming February 13th!
Trivia night is our major fundraiser for the year. If you have not already signed up to help, collected a group of friends to play, or found a unique item to donate for the silent auction, now is the time to do so. Please check your email for important announcements about this fun event.
