Across 6 fast-paced rounds in our Junior (Grades 4โ€“8) and Senior (Grades 9โ€“12) sections, players battled it out in a 10|0 rapid format, pushing their calculation, time management, and nerves to the limit. The energy in the room was electric from start to finish.

Huge thank you to our amazing volunteers, arbiters, and parents for making everything run smoothly โ€” and to every player who showed up ready to compete and learn.
