Is it me, or should the individual winners be the lead story of this tournament. The K-9 champion isn’t even mentioned in the lead story, but the one team from Texas certainly is.
I personally think USCF should have a true Scholastic team championship (these days it could even be done in ICC like the USCL), and bag the fony team titles in the individual tournaments, but I know that will never happen.
Congratulations to the winners.
The story mentions the two teams and the one individual that took first in the two championship sections without needing tie-breaks. A four-way tie at 6-1 in the K-9 championship section is a little messier than the sole 7-0 winning the K-8 championship section. The four 6-1s combined for 5 draws, one 1/2-point bye, 1 loss, 1 forfeit win (round 1) and 20 over-the-board wins. If the two 5.5-0.5 players had had a decisive game (resulting in a single 6.5-0.5 winner) then that one person would most likely also have been mentioned.
Then again, the K-9 is the premier section of the tournament–and usually significantly stronger, although it wasn’t so clear this year. Look at the Yearbook, only the K-9 winner is listed as the National Junior High champion; K-8 isn’t even mentioned.
Doesn’t the K-8 winner get listed as the National Middle School Champion?
K-3 and K-5 in the National Elementary, and K-8 in the National JH are generally billed as championship sections. I’d prefer to see them listed as such in the yearbook along with the K-6 Elementary and K-9 JH champions.
I believe that if you win a Championship section at a National Scholastic, you should be listed in the Yearbook.
We have found something to agree on!! Yippeee! 
(Just teasing a little!) But I really do agree with you.
Good question, I’ve passed it on to the appropriate people at the USCF office.
FWIW, there is a more detailed story on the Junior High on CLO now, listing the winners of both the K-9 and K-8 championship sections, with photos and several games.
It looks like all the other section winners are listed as well.
Response from Bill Hall regarding the spring nationals:
I agree with the ED. If the teams aren’t listed in the Yearbook, they should be as well given that USCF is considering them the National Team Champions for these events.
The publications department is in charge of updating the yearbook, and they’re on deadline for Chess Life this week.
