Iowa Scholatics Championships for 2009 - 2010

The Iowa State Chess Association is working on the 2009-2010 Scholastic Chess Championship Calendar. While some dates and host locations are being firmed up, the IASCA is still looking for additional organizations to host some tournaments. November 7, 2009: Arrangements for the Iowa Individual Grades Championships to return to the Clarion Hotel Wasserbahn Water Park (formerly Holiday Inn) have been made. December 5, 2009: Chess parents at Ames High School are considering hosting the Iowa Primary (K-3) Elementary, Secondary Elementary (4-6), and Junior High School (7-9) tournament. We still need host sites for the following events (preferred time from in parentheis): • Iowa Individual High School Championship (November - January) • Iowa Individual Girls Championship (January) • Iowa Elementary Team Championship (February) • Iowa Junior High School Team Championship (March/April, following spring break) • Iowa High School Team Championship (March/April, following spring break) The IASCA seeks to place these tournaments at various locations around the state. Please contact James Hodina at james.hodina@mchsi.com or 319-390-6525 if you would like to explore hosting one of these tournaments. You do not need to be a USCF Tournament Director; the IASCA will find one for the tournament if you do have one available from your organization.
