Junior World- To Go or Not to Go?

_Txri21 · May 24, 2017

I will be playing in a Junior World qualifier very soon. I have a decent chance at qualifying even though the field is very competitive and large. Though, I'm not sure if I should go. I already have many out of state tournaments planned for the summer. I am already playing in the US Kids Teen World Championship- Is Junior World much different? Has anyone played in the Junior World Championship? Was it worth it? Would you go again? Is the level of competitiveness similar to Optimist/US Kids?

US Kids Teen World is not a big tournament and has average competition. If I were older than 12 that would be the one not to go to.

Buddy of mine has a son who is very competitive in the under 10 age group and he said the Future Masters tournament in Alabama is one of the best he has been to. I know they have divisions for the older kids as well. From what he has told me, it is by invitation only.

I have heard the Future Master's is phenomenal. Only problem is Txri is a girl and the Future Master's is a boys only tournament.

Good point heavy. I didn't think about that.
