Tuesday, November 15, 2011

Hi everyone, I'm happy to say that our Blitz Tournament last night was very successful. Each player got to play 8 games and we even finished on time! Below are the results of the tournament, and congratulations to the winners and everyone who participated!

1st: Johnathan (7.5 points)
2nd: Tie: Phil (6 points), Andy (6 points)
4th: James (5.5 points)

We have also uploaded pictures taken at the Halloween Party and the Blitz Tournament, which you can see at our Picasa Web Album.

Finally, after calculating the clubs budget, we have decided that we need to ask for a membership fee to offset club expenses. We will be asking for $10 from each member. Membership has some perks, including free entry into 1 of our future tournaments. Those club members who already paid to play in the Blitz Tournament, we would only ask for $6, since you already paid $4 to enter, and consider that tournament as your free entry.

If we could get $10 from each member, it would go a long way to helping out the club. Our first priority is to offset registration costs, and second is to get our own equipment. The boards we use are borrowed from the Sacramento Chess Club, so we'd like to be more self-sufficient and perhaps get clocks as well.

So please, at one of our upcoming meetings, talk to one of the officers about your membership fee.

Thank you, and once again, congrats to all the Blitz Tournament Participants!
