Scholastic chess tournament capped at 54 students in multiple sections at the Leander Public Library on May 17, 2025.
Registration is now CLOSED as the tournament is full and there are 8 kids on the waitlist, so any additional kids on the waitlist will have very little chance of getting in. I’ll reopen registration if all 8 kids on the waitlist get in. Look at the entry list to see the length of the waitlist. Those on the waitlist lock in the price for when they got on the waitlist and won’t have to pay unless they get in from the waitlist.
I’m also hosting a tournament at the Cedar Park Library on June 28, 2025. Register here before it fills up too.
