Mill Valley Shines at JCC

While it was a tough K-6 division at the Jewish Community Center last Sunday the 28th, and Mill Valley did not DOMINATE by any stretch of the imagination, the small contingent did well, and won some tough matches!

The tournament directors did a great job keeping the tournament running quickly and smoothly! This is not an easy thing to do, and parents and coaches were appreciative of the fast pace.

As a team, Mill Valley tied with Magellan Day School, yet took 2nd place due to tiebreakers and slightly easier matchups overall. The WSCF has decided this year to use the USCF ratings for Mill Valley players and selected other players. We are looking into this to more fully understand this seeming inconsistency, and its effects.

The top Mill Valley finisher was Chris Tillson, took 5th place and a trophy by going 4-2. Reid Seghers won his last three games including a challenging final match against the always-tough Michael Pantzlaff of Green Bay to also go 4-2 and take 6th place. Greg Reese took 8th with 3.5 and Evan Seghers took 10th place, also with 3.5. Kolt Otterbacher won two games in this very tough K-6 division.

Great Job, Mill Valley!
