I do have 1 room for the Matt and I and 3 rooms for the upper school players at the __Holiday Inn__ Downtown, only 5 blocks from the Hyatt. The rooms come to $200 a night (after __taxes__) but these are 2 room suites that have a Q, SS and space for up to 4. We will stay there April 12, 13, 14, 15. Cots are may be available for $15 per night. We depart in a large van, where I can take myself + 11 others, on wed, April 11 at 3:30 pm from USM. We stay at a Days Inn in Eau Claire ($45 for a double) April 11, and then thursday morning we only have a 90 minute drive to the Bughouse tournament. We have to get there before regsitration closed, so we leave at 8 am.

We will use the whole day Monday to travel from Minneapolis to Milwaukee, so if you come in the van, you will miss 3 days of school.

You can __fly__, and I will get you from the airport. USM is covering the cost of the van, but no airfares for students or parents.

NEWS FLASH: the new rule much announced at the JO and State meet about having to have 8 rated __games__ within 9 months of the tournament is being SUSPENDED for the high school nationals. Your current ratings will be used, no matter how ancient they are.

=CHESS UPDATE Thursday, March 15, 2012= Due to some unexpected rule changes, I cannot have Vinay play with the JV. So we are simplifying things to 1 Varsity team (5 players), 1 K8 team (6 players now + last mintue adds), and 1 JV team (3 players now + last minute adds) = = =CHESS UPDATE Monday, March 12, 2012= You can check how the team did at the End of the World Chess Tourney at Riverside on the flange360 YouTube channel. PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU ARE COMING TO STATE TODAY! I have to __sign up__ the USM teams. It __looks__ like we can field 3 teams at state: 2 Varsity teams (5 players each): one of K8 players and one of 9-12 players. These student have been __working__ with Matt for the last 3 sundays and are ready to go! 1 JV k12 team: this can be any number of players from any grade. I hope we get at least 4 to have a decent team score, and I think we will. Rather than putting kids in the K5 or K8, I think we are better served in the JV K12 where we can combine our strenght, and our lower schoolers showed much fortitude in besting high schoolers at the Brookfield Academy match.

Ryan Murphy is coming along to __help__ out and joining our coaching staff with Matt and Owen.

We have a team room, which is smaller this year but much closet to the tournament rooms: Reeve Union 219

We are still looking for a meet with MSL When these are done, we will __enter__ a 3 round swiss tournament for the playoffs, and then the __winner__ of each conference will play off for the City Championship. There will NOT be an all day city meet, just the two conference champs playing in the 4th round.
