We set a record in our second year to host the Halloween Chess Tournament sponsored by Sullins Eye Care Center with 159 kids registered to play in both rated and non-rated sections. A big thank you to Horizon Elementary and chess sponsor Ms. Bero for serving as our rain location for the tournament. Our costume contest and dance-off added additional fun to a great tournament. Final results in tie-break order can be found here. The USCF tournament report for the rated sections can be found here (reminder, the USCF report is not in tie-break order). This tournament only affects your rapid/quick rating, not your regular rating.

Thank you to Diana Ng and Scott Wilhelm for wonderful pictures throughout the day. Photo files were shared on the MCCL FaceBook page.
