State Scholastic Chess Championships

State will be held on Saturday and Sunday March 17th-18th at Reeve Memorial Student Union, UW Oshkosh.  We have reserved room 214 as the Neenah Team Room, so this will be the main gathering place for students between rounds or for parents who wish to visit and observe.

We will be taking a team bus from Neenah High School.  The bus will leave from doorway 6 at 8:00am both Saturday and Sunday.  Please arrive at least 10 minutes early.

Our return time on Saturday will most likely be between 8 and 9 pm, and on Sunday we will most likely return around 5:30 or 6:00pm.  Students will need to have food or money for two meals (lunch and dinner) Saturday, and for lunch on Sunday.

Students who are planning to attend but have arranged other transportation MUST let the coaches know ahead of time.  If you are not at the high school Saturday morning, and we have not heard from you, you will be dropped from the tournament.  Similarly, if you are riding to the tournament on the bus but arranging other transportation home, you must let us know so that we are not searching for you at the end of the day.
