WBC
offers a Juniors Program exclusively for kids 12 and
under. Children
must be able to grasp rules and play independently.
Many
of our current attendees got their start in the Juniors
ranks and have graduated to more adult fare with often
stunning results. One graduate of the
program was 13-year-old Rebecca Hebner
who scored the first-ever WBC Grand
Slam with four separate championships
in 2001, one year after leaving the
Juniors ranks. Other graduates
are Devin Flawd and Nick Henning,
who finished first and third in 2004’s
first Consul competition for earning
the most laurels at WBC in one year. Former Juniors have even gone on to run Juniors events for the next generation.
The Juniors Room is staffed by full-time monitors and assistants. BPA
particularly appreciates the GMs
of Juniors Events. These people are to
be lauded for their patience and
skill in working with children. Their invaluable
efforts spread the hobby to the next generation. Below
are the results of 2011 Junior Tournaments, listed in alphabetical
order. Write-ups and photos, when available,
are in the related Event
Reports. Read more about the WBC
Juniors Program. For more information
or to volunteer as a Juniors GM
or assistant, contact the Juniors
Program Coordinator.
