Hadley Scholastic Chess Tournament

On February 9th, 2008 there was a chess tournament. In this tournament, you play people only in your rating group. I got into the group of the rating 1000+ and won three games out of five. I won to Gruveer Singh. My brother was undefeated with a score of 3.5 out of 4. My brother got second place in the 900-999. I also got 2nd place.
The organizers of the tournament said that if you get first, second, third, or fourth place in the 1000+ section they give you a scholarship on the internet; length depending on what place you got. I got second place, so I got 3 months of the free chess school on the internet. Another person in the school who got the scholarship was Kenneth Martin, getting 4th place in the elementary 1000+ section and therefore getting a free scholarship on the internet for 1 month. The primary team got fourth place, so did the elementary team, but the junior high team got first.
