This Saturday is the Colorado State Grade Championship in<BR>
Colorado Springs. It's separate from the State Scholastic<BR>
Championship that is held in February. In this one, the kids<BR>
can earn the title of State Champion of their grade and<BR>
non-member kids can compete against rated kids. With<BR>
a few exceptions, they only play against kids in their own<BR>
grade as well. It was a big tournament last year with 144<BR>
players, including the likes of Richard Herbst competing. <BR>
The numbers have been growing each year. Here's a link to<BR>
the CSCA web page for it:<BR>

It should be a great tournament and an excellent opportunity<BR>
for the kids. Please pass the info on to your readers if you<BR>
can.<BR>
