Check It Out Annual Minneapolis School District Chess Tournament

I know we just started this year’s chess club, but our 1st tournament is upon us. If your child likes Chess Club, they’ll like this tournament. It's also a very good warm-up tournament for the much more competitive ones later in the year. Last year Burroughs had about 20 kids attend. Here are the details.

What:

  • Kids play seven games of chess, in either a K-3 level or a 4-6 level. Trophies are awarded depending on how kids do, and there are door prizes, too. Last year, Burroughs took home the 2nd place trophy in Grades 4-6 and the 1st place trophy in grades K-3.
  • We will be competing as a team, but if your child is participating, you are responsible for arranging supervision for them. We cannot oversee this number of kids.
  • It’s free and lunch is provided.
  • There is down time between games, so bring a book or something for the kids to do. (Nintendos are a popular option.)
  • Wear your Burroughs clothes to represent!

When: Saturday, December 11, 2010. 8:30AM for registration, 9:00 AM if you’re pre-registerd. Ends around 4:30.

Where: North High School, 1500 James Avenue North (enter on Knox Avenue side of building)

How: Preregister with Burroughs by clicking here BY 12/6!
