Middle School Chess League Forming Sixth Season!

All Whatcom County middle schools, junior highs, and private schools that encompass 6th through 8th graders are invited to join the sixth season of the Whatcom Chess League, a WHSCA rated league.

The WCL uses the same tournament rules as the high school league, with a few differences. Teams will consist of four players instead of five. (That way they can all fit into one car!) In previous years, the league has consisted of four rounds, running concurrently with the high school chess league meets.

To participating schools we encourage a two-fold emphasis. First, an emphasis on learning: the rules of the game, chess notation, good sportsmanship, basic strategy, logical thinking. Then, an emphasis on fun: enjoying the game and the inter-school competition as a team, in a supportive environment.

Whatcom Chess League Schedule 2005

To be determined -- usually on 2-3 Monday evenings in late January & early February.

Pre-registration is required to participate, so contact WCL league director Jeffrey Marks at jeffreymarks@juno.com for the most current specifics and WCL entry information.
