Here is a note from MSCA Scholastic Coordinator, Jiten Patel: Apologies if you received this email, still trying to clear up my list. In addition, please re-forward this email to those you have done yesterday.For 2013, both scholastic tournaments will be held on the same weekend. March 23-24.The SCA will be responsible for the K-3 and K-6 divisions. The first place team from each section will be declared the Minnesota State Champions. The top 16 individual finishers in each section will compete in the Tournament of Champions on Saturday, April 13th. The winner of the K-3 Tournament of Champions will be declared the K-3 State Champion. The winner of the K-6 Tournament of Champions will be declared the K-6 State Champion.The MSCA will be responsible for the K-9 and the K-12 Championship. The winning teams in each section will be declared state champions in their respective divisions as well. The top finisher in the K-9 section will be declared the Junior High State Champion and the Barber representative. The Top finisher in the K-12 division will be declared the High School state Champion, and the Denker representative, provided the first place finisher does attend a high school.The Primary and Elementary State Championship will be held at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis (run by the SCA)The Tournament of Champions will be held at Metcalf Jr. High (April 13th, run by the SCA)The Junior High and High School Championship will be held at the Riverfront Crowne Plaza in St. Paul (run by the MSCA)Forms for the Junior High/Senior High Championship will come out in the coming weeks I expect.This announcement may force some individuals or teams to make a decision on which tournament to compete in...coaches and parents will be put in the same position, and for that I apologize. This was not a planned decision, but it was the only conclusion that could have been made given the circumstances in the last few days. For those with more questions, I may be answer them if you reply back, or perhaps in more depth this Saturday at the SCA Snowball Open and Team vs Team tournament where I will be in attendance. Thank you, and have a good rest of the night. --Jiten PatelMSCA Scholastic Coordinator
