We had 38 players compete in our Saturday tournament and once again there were several new players who were either new to us or Unrated and therefore new to competitive chess. Congratulations to the section winners and their USCF point increases as a result of their success.

U1500: James Holcombe +68 USCF pts.
K-12 OPEN: Javier Rojas +149 USCF

Our next event is July 16 and it will be the official North Florida Open. The site will be different as it will be the Ramada Inn off I-95 and Baymeadows Road. Our plan is to offer our largest prize fund to date and winner's trophy for each section. It was originally thought out as a two-day, but it has been reduced to one for this year.
Check back this week as more will be posted very soon.
