Minnesota Jr High Chess League - Updated 1-16

We have joined a chess league competing against other schools in the area. We need our top five players, but we'll undoubtedly need 1 or 2 subs on occasion. Extra players are welcome to come and play other team's extra players for a scrimmage game. Parents will need to get together to arrange transportation to and from the matches.
Teams: Metcalf A, B and C, Salem Hills, Friendly Hills, Faithful Shepherd.
We'll start when all teams are there 3:30 to 3:45
My guess is that the 5:40 ending time will be hard to meet also.

Jan 25 at Metcalf 3:30-5:40      Rd1- vs Metcalf B Rd2 vs Friendly Hills
Phani Bonam will transport the top 5 to Metcalf
Parents need to pick up their child at Metcalf at 5:40

Feb 1 at Friendly Hills 3:30-5:40 Rd3 vs Faithful Shepherd Rd4 vs Metcalf A
Linda Wang will transport the top 7 to Friendly Hills
Parents need to pick up their child at Friendly Hill at 5:40

Feb 8 at Metcalf 3:30-5:40 Rd 5 vs Metcalf C
Phani Bonam will transport the top 5 to Metcalf
Parents need to pick up their child at Metcalf at 5:40

Apr 6 (Saturday) Playoffs at Metcalf (1st and 2nd place qualify)  

The format is our top 5 face another school's top 5. Team that wins 3 games wins the match.
Rules: Touch move. All games must be notated. All games will use clocks if they are available. (Bring your chess set and clock if you own one.)

As it stands now, our top players are:
Board 1 Lennox Tan
Board 2 Michael Hernandez-Ruiz
Board 3 Suhaas Pothula
Board 4 Anvith Pothula
Board 5 Zachary Browning
1st Alt Rishik Kondadadi
2nd Alt Thomas Hartlaub
