Crossroads tournament results

As always, the Crossroads K-6 tournament was our first tournament of the year. We had 14 players participate, with an impressive 8 team members receiving medals for 3 or more wins, including 3 team members playing in their first tournament. Kennard was part of an exciting 5-way tie for 1st place, and the team took home the 2nd place trophy based on tie breaks. Congratulations to everyone who participated!

Tournaments with a (*) are USCF-rated.
G/30 means 30 minutes per player, so the longest possible game would be 60 minutes if both players used all their time.
