Late fee is turned off until Monday midnight!
Also, coming up soon is the Grade Level State Championships, a chance for your kids to win a state championship! Late fee is turned on Friday midnight, no exceptions, since this will be a big state event, with around 400 kids! So Register for both tournaments TODAY!
Any questions? email us to ask@bayareachess.com and our amazing team will be answering your email super fast.
