VCS Monthly Active  

Exciting news!

A new junior section (Grade K – 12) is added to our Grand Prix Tournament in Dec 2014.

The top adult and junior finishers of our monthly Active Tournaments will receive free entry to our Grand Prix Tournament; Adult section competes for the cash prize of $500 and junior section winner will receive a trophy. Please check our VCS event calendar for upcoming details. If the winners have already been on the invitation list, we will extend the invitation to the next winner.

*Juniors will play with adults as usually; one who shows the highest result among junior will play in junior Grand Prix in December. If any junior takes the first place in the monthly event among all players, he/she will be qualified to play in adult Grand Prix.
