5.  Discussion, finalize definition of “team”. At the coaches meeting, it was suggested we adopt the USCF National Scholastics definition for the championship section (K-3 and K-6), but leave to the discretion of the coaches for the Novice section. The finalization falls to the Board of Directors, essentially the Organizing Committee (plus others).

 

6. Procedural Stuff:

            A. Tournament announcement due in to USCF by December 10 (to appear in Feb issue), so dates/contacts need to be finalized by then. Can keep very generic as last year.

            B.  Mailing of forms: Discuss possibility of postcard notices and post on Chess Maine web site again.

 

7. Other business.
