TOURNAMENT RESULTS

WOW! Did you all do well or what? Someone can add it up, but it looks to me like the team gained about 700 rating points. Alex and Isaac finished in the top half of Elementary and Bharath and Gage finished in the top half of Primary.

Primary Team: Got off to a fast start scoring 7 out of a possible 8 in the first two rounds and taking over 1st place! After round 4 we were in still in 5th place. After that we stayed in 10th place edging out Capitol Hill on tie-breaks to win the trophy!

Elementary: We made our move in rounds 5-6-7 scoring 7.5 points! After round 4 we were in 21st place, but we moved up to 14th by the end of round 7.

Primary Team 10th place trophy in the State!
Elementary - 14th place and the SE regional trophy
There were 33 teams from over 70 schools there!

We finished ahead of some schools with good chess clubs - including the defending state champions!

Top finish in Elementary (grades 4-6) was Alex in 68th place out of 211
Top finish in Primary (K-3) was Bharath in 43rd place out of 177
