Thanks to Kate Ervin for contributing to this report.

The Maine Online Middle School Chess League (MOMSCL) concluded earlier this month, after 6 weeks of competition. It was an action-packed season, with 110 players competing across 14 teams. Here are the final results:

Congratulations to our trophy winners!

1st Place: The William S. Cohen School - 6 points
2nd Place: Orono Middle School - 4.5 points (125.75 USAT tiebreak points)
3rd Place: Brunswick Junior High School - 4.5 points (105.75 USAT tiebreak points)

Congratulations to our League MVP Isaac Klein! He scored a perfect 12 points for Cohen across the 6 weeks of the league.

And finally, congratulations to our Team MVPs. Each of these players scored the highest number of points for his/her team. In the case of a tie, the MVP was the player, who scored the most points on the most challenging board.
