Rookie Rally Tournament Report

A BIG THANK YOU to Mill Creek Elementary, chess team sponsor Carlalee McKee, and State Senator Tom Butler for their support of this event! We also want to thank our coaches and tournament directors. We had 136 competitors with the K-3 Under 300 section being the largest section with over 40 players. Here is the Rookie Rally Tournament report. It was exciting to see so many growing teams competing and kids having really developed their skills over the school year. We are getting ready for STATE!

Everyone who competed at Rookie Rally received a USCF rating or updated rating. The USCF report (not in tie-break order) is available here.
