Madison Hosts the 2022 All Girls State on February 12th!
MCCL is excited to host the 2022 All Girls State Chess Championship on February 12th at Hexagon, 305 Intergraph Way, in Madison. The tournament is sponsored by State Senator Arthur Orr and Hexagon. Madison has the highest concentration of females playing chess, so we are hoping for another record setting turnout.
The tournament has three sections: K-3; K-6; and K-12. The top 3 scores from a school in each section comprise the team score. The winner in the K-12 section will represent Alabama in the Ruth Haring National Girls Tournament of Champions. Read more about the tournament and how to register here. The early registration deadline is Feb. 5th (registration fee doubles after that). Register now!
The last time we were able to host an over-the-board All Girls State was in 2020 at Liberty Middle School. We are looking forward to hosting in Madison again at a wonderful location - the Hexagon building.
