SDCC Scholastic is hosting their first online tournament tomorrow at 4 PM PST. This is free. It will last about 1 1/2 hours. Details on how to join the club on chess kids here.

Rated tournaments will be offered in the future at a very affordable price. Much less than what is currently being charged by other clubs and schools. The director believes in making chess accessible to all.

ETA: If you have trouble with getting your account connected, send your account name directly to k12sdcc@gmail (dot) com and she will get you added. There is a bug in the system for chesskids which is blocking some accounts.
