TBCC - 1st Scholastic Tournament Report
We would like to thank you all for your support and participation in our tournament!
We saw so much enthusiasm for the 1st Scholastic Tournament, which led to a memorable experience.
20 players from at least 13 schools participated in the 1st scholastic chess tournament held by the Tokyo Bilingual Chess Club on June 28, 2015. The kids mastered the rules and rulings approach quickly and are not bashful about putting up their hand for a ruling, just like in a rated tournament. They've done great in their sportsmanship development.
