State Chess Tournament    More Info For Parents

When:          March 20th and 21st

Where:         Gruenhagen Conference Center – University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh

Each student will be responsible for the cost of a dorm room.Rooms are $15 per night per player, so $30 for the weekend. We will be traveling down to Oshkosh on Friday March 19th and returning Sunday evening. Students will be on their own for meals. There are numerous fast food and delivery places within reasonable walking distance of the dorm. UWO Food Service usually offers ala-carte selections in the lobby at lunchtime. Students who do not wish to stay in the dorm will have to have their parents pick them up Saturday night and return them to Oshkosh on Sunday morning. The trip will be chaperoned by chess coaches Tim Hiddemen, Victor Dettlaff and others

Varsity:

Will play as a team, 3 matches Saturday, 2 matches Sunday, Time control will be Game in 90 Minutes. Trophies to the top 6 teams, each board champion and medals for anyone scoring at least 3 points.

JV:

Will play as individuals, no limit on entries. Players will play 4 matches Saturday, game in 60 minutes and 2 matches on Sunday, game in 90 minutes. Team score is the best four players scores added together. Trophies to the top 8 teams, top 10 individuals and medals to any player scoring at least 3.5 points.

Non High School Players:

Middle and Elementary students are welcome to attend, but will play on a separate team from the High School players and will compete in a separate division, either the K-8 or K-5 Division. The team score is determined by adding the top 4 players scores, so the more players we take, the better our chances. I also would like to encourage some WMS and/or WLC parents to consider accompanying us as chaperones.
