Updated Bracket

An intense match from Thursday

The competition was fierce this week!

Bracket - Week 2

The Fall Tournament Continues...

Fall Tournament Bracket is Here!

Here is the bracket based on current rankings. There are still opportunities for additional players to sign up.

This will be a double-elimination tournament, so a loss does not mean you are out. However, two losses does.

If both players show up to a meeting, they play the scheduled match.

If neither player shows up to a meeting, the match will be rescheduled or cancelled.

If one player shows up and the other doesn't, the no-show player has one week to seek out his or her opponent to make up the match, or else it's a forfeit.

The top three seeds are given a "bye" through to the second week, but are encouraged to come to the meeting in the event that additional players not listed on the current bracket show up.

After the first week, winners will continue as scheduled through bracket "A," while their opponents will be re-seeded into bracket "B." A loss on bracket "B" constitutes elimination from the tournament.

To sign up, see Mr. Sterling or Mr. Mandel.

Last Qualifying Matches for Fall Tournament

This week is the last chance to play qualifying matches for the fall tournament. Seeds will be based on the current rankings after today's meeting. The tournament begins December 1st.

If you can't make it to the meeting today, please see Mr. Sterling or Mr. Mandel to sign up for the tournament.

Rankings Grow

We had several new faces at Chess Club this week, even though several of our regulars were out on the art club field trip.

Rankings have been added to the Results and Records spreadsheet.

These Rankings will be used to determine seeding for our fall tournament. Stay tuned!

Calendar turns to October

We had a light week at Chess Club this past Thursday. 8th grader Feng C solidified his hold on the top spot in wins (see Results and Records).

This coming Thursday, October 6, is a half day for Back-to-School Night, so there will be no meeting. See you on Thursday the 13th!
