IHSA Championship
Nearly 100 8 player teams participated in the
IHSA state championship held March 21-22 in
Peoria, IL.
The IHSA tournament is a team event with
weighted scoring. Board 1 is worth 12 points,
board 2 is 11 points, and so on down to board 8,
which is worth 5 points. The most possible points
in a match is 68. Games on the first day are
played at game/60, and on the second day at
G/70.
The tournament is a 7 round event, and is not
USCF rated because IHSA rules will not allow a
membership requirement in another organization.
It is estimated that about half of the participants
are USCF members.

The Maine South Championship Team
Front Row: Brett Collins, Dan Leung,
