Thirty-two teams of four players each competed in our second school team tournament, held on May 30 at Wayne Elementary School. The tournament champion, for the second straight time, was The Philadelphia School, winning first and third place with their two teams. Coming in second place was Ithan Elementary, and Springton Manor, the only other school to win at least three out of four possible matches, came in fourth.
Our next team tournament is in November - we look forward to seeing you all there!
