Thank You!!!
The latest Region VIII Scholastic Championships have been completed. As Texas Chess Association Region VIII Director, I must give my sincerest and deepest thanks to the organizer, Americo Paredes Elementary (James Houghtaling!) for a job extremely well done and to Rivera High for its outstanding facilities!!
Glitches were few and far between and turnout was amazing at 1182 participants. All the td staff, volunteers, parents and players had a tremendous role in the success of this major Regional and State event.
As usual, Paper Clip Pairings (Remy Ferrari & James Houghtaling!) did an outstanding job pairing each round, getting USCF memberships updated and the entire tournament rated in a single weekend. Believe me, that is a LOT of work!
Final congratulations should go to the players for their dedication and hard work in their respective chess organizations and to ALL those others who helped behind the scenes to make this great tournament the success that it has become over these past years.
