Update on the State Junior Championships taking place in the July School Holidays – Thursday 15th July 8:30pm.
Unfortunately, due to the announced Covid restrictions, only the State Junior Championships will continue on the Friday – the July Junior Tournament planned for Friday will be abandoned. We will therefore have only 3 events running tomorrow – the State Under 18/16, the State Under 15/14/13 and the State U12 Championships.
NO JULY JUNIOR TOURNAMENT ON FRIDAY!!!
We have held two of the three July Junior events over the past two days and each time it has been completed successfully with about 30 students in each. Reducing the number of students at the Chess Centre on Friday by this number will make it much safer for everyone.
Please check the current standings of the various state Championships and the final standings for the two completed July Junior events under the Individual Tournaments tab.
