Great tournament at Nicolet! 140+ kids attended this WSCF event.
In K-3, we had three players (one short of a full team), and did very well. Marissa led the way with 3 wins out of her 5 games - almost winning her last game for a trophy. Nolan added 2.5 more wins, and Manisha, in her first tournament ever, won 2 games! Great job kids!
In K-6, we had a full team. Leading the way with 3 wins out of 5 was Zach and Ishaan (in his 2nd tournament). Everyone else had 2.0, including Kate, Henry, Derius and Jack.
If we are to look at ourselves and be honest, this wasn't our BEST performance in terms of wins and losses - this will happen sometimes. It's good that we don't always win trophies! We ran into a real "buzz saw" with the Club Team (multiple schools) from Mequon. They had 2 kids with perfect 5.0 scores in K-6 and 2 kids with perfect 5.0 scores in K-3! That's incredible. For the state tournament, they will have to divide up into separate school teams, but they are definitely a team we need to watch, and they need to inspire us to learn more and be better players!
The main thing is, we had fun, and had a chance to learn from some of our mistakes. I was able to sit with several kids throughout the day and help correct some of the things I saw. I'm proud of all our kids' efforts - especially new tournament players Manisha and Ishaan! Thanks also to parents for helping keeping things organized.
