Juneteenth Days Chess Tent Each of the last two years WSCF has put up a chess tent on June 19th and take part in one of the largest celebration of Juneteenth Day in the country. We pass out WSCF Literature, sell boards and t-shirts and take on all comers for $2. If they win they get their money back. Youth pay a $1. Come by and play chess or make a donation to WSCF. 2009-2010 Tournament Reservations We are currently scheduling dates for the upcoming season. Some months fill up quickly so please contact Bob at http://us.mc379.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=bob@wisconsinscholasticchess.org asap. We will send you a contract and you can send back a deposit. If deposits are not recieved by Sept. 10 we will take your school off the schedule and not put the tournament in the program catalog. We are also interested in editing or evolving the contract. We are looking for a small committe of 4 -6 past tournament hosts to go over and discuss procedures and pricing. We will do this via a chat room and email that will be set up for that purpose. This work needs to be done by August 1st so contracts can go out. If you would like to be on this committee please let us know asap.
