Brookdale Community College – Student Life Center
Don’t miss this one of a kind tournament! Coach Mac is inviting K-12 to join us for the NJ State Grade Level Championships. For this event, a team is considered any two or more players in the same section who attend the same school for their academic education. Students who attend the same extra-curricular chess academy (e.g. ICA, CKQ) are not considered teammates for this event unless they also attend the same academic school.
