League Match 3 was held on December 3 at the BASIS Oro Valley. It hosted about 160 players from many neighboring Tucson and Oro Valley schools. The formats for the tournament as well as the prizes were similar to League matches 1 and 2 and allowed players to compete in individual formats yet go for Team trophies also.

I was very proud of the students from our ACFS schools for making the heroic efforts to win prizes and gain rating. Some succeeded and some didn’t but everyone had great fun doing so.
