Spring Scio Scholastic Rescheduled

I just received the following email from the "old woodpusher"

SCHOLASTIC CHESS TOURNAMENT #8 SCIO HIGH SCHOOL SCIO, NEW YORK MAY 10, 2008 Hello, Scholastic Chess Club Advisers! Just a short blurb to keep the upcoming chess event fresh in the minds of all our supporting cast! The tournament playing area will be located in the Scio High School cafeteria. Follow the directional signs once inside the building. Remember to have those students wishing to have lunch pay the $4.00 fee at the tournament registration desk when checking in. Accompanying adults can also pay the fee if they expect to join in on the lunch break. (Sub’s this time!)

The schedule is tentatively as follows: 9:00 – 9:30 Student check in and registration. 10:00 Start of Round-1 play 11:10 Start of Round-2 play 12:10 Lunch break 12:45 Start of Round-3 play 1:55 Start of Round-4 play 3:00 Start of Round-5 play 4:15 Awards presentation (If above holds true!) Remember that pre-registration of students allows for a smoother and timely event. Make every effort to have all your players that anticipate on attending this tournament pre-registered, if possible by MAY 7TH so the organizational functions can be attended to by the tourn. director. Student name, school and grade level will suffice for registration purposes. This can be e-mailed to garrylreynolds@rocketmail.com Late registration holds up the first round pairings so we will set a policy of no registrations after 9:45am! Please have your students on deck prior to 9:45am. Rounds may start earlier than scheduled if all games are completed ahead of schedule. The first two rounds of play generally move along much faster than scheduled.

The host for this event will be Karen Insley, the chess coach/mentor for the Scio Scholastic Chess Club. We extend our appreciation to her for hosting our second tournament in the new school year. The tournament coordinator and director will be Garry Reynolds and all inquiries can be directed to him.

Sincerely, Garry l. Reynolds garrylreynolds@rocketmail.com 585-268-7359 Home 585-596-3730 Work
