ICA Dr. Ostfeld Memorial Winter Scholastic Championship!
There was a blizzard the day before but it did nothing to stop all the kids from enjoying another installment of our ICA Dr Ostfeld Memorial Championship. More than one hundred kids turned out to enjoy pizza, donuts, trophies and everything else they usually do at our tournaments. The following is a summary breakdown of the results in each section:
Section 1
With fourteen competitors in section one, Lily Goldfarb came away the sole, and undefeated winner defeating her brother Alex in the last round to claim first place. Alex Goldfarb came away in second winning his other three games. Zoe Einhorn, and Eric Kuznetsov scored three points each and tied for third place with Zoe claiming the third place trophy on tie-breaks.
