Tournament prep, parts one and two
1pm to 4pm both days, $70 for the pair, ages 9 and up. Using a clock, writing down moves, how a round runs, and what to do when you are unsure of a rule.
Practice tournament at the studio
1pm to 5pm, $10. Four rounds, twenty-five minutes a side, for studio students. A calm first try at a full afternoon of games.
Tournament prep, part three
1pm to 4pm, $35. Bring your score sheets and we go over your own games.
Winter classes end
Spring placement morning follows on Saturday, March 13.
Tournament prep is about the room, not the result.
Many players are nervous before their first tournament because they do not know how the afternoon runs. The prep Saturdays cover the clock, the score sheet, how to ask for help, and how to shake hands at the end, win or lose.
Who it is for
Players aged nine and up who already play full games. Parents are welcome to sit in on part one.
Parts one and two together are $70. Part three is $35. The practice tournament is $10.
