* Leyton Ho was paired as a Bay Area Chess player for 1st four rounds but was changed in the 4th round to NorCal House of Chess. Some of his teammates and their parents questioned this change but mature minds prevailed... Bay Area Chess team choose to acquiesce in goodwill because the end result did not effect any other team besides Bay Area and NorCal House. There is no misunderstanding and NorCal House of Chess is the true champion of this section.
