EnglishHow to Contact CMSCA and Stay Updated on Events
Updated
CMSCA (Charlotte-Mecklenburg Scholastic Chess Association) lists two direct ways to stay in touch: contact the organization by email, and join its mailing list to receive notices about upcoming events and opportunities. The site also links to Facebook, Instagram, Discord, and GitHub, and notes that donations are appreciated to keep its events free.
Contacting CMSCA
The website provides an Email Contact Us link for inquiries or further information. If you have a question about a tournament, a program, or anything else, that email link is the contact route the site itself points to. No phone number, mailing address, or contact form is listed on the page.
Staying Updated on Events
Join the mailing list
The site invites visitors to "join our mailing list below to stay informed about our latest events and opportunities." This is the primary channel CMSCA promotes for event announcements, so signing up is the most reliable way to hear about new tournaments and program news as they are posted.
Check the tournament listings
CMSCA publishes its event schedule directly on the homepage, with each entry paired with an Info & Registration link. The listed events are:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| First Team Tournament | 10/18/2025 (Sat.) |
| Junior Open Tournament | 11/15/2025 (Sat.) |
| Class Championship-1 Tournament | 12/13/2025 |
| Southern Scholastic Tournament | 01/31/2026 |
| Second Team Tournament | 03/21/2026 (Sat.) |
| Third Team Tournament | 04/25/2026 (Sat.) |
Because dates and registration details can change, treat the homepage listing as the current source and use each event's Info & Registration link for specifics.
Follow social channels
The site links to four social platforms:
- Discord
- GitHub
These are additional places to watch for updates, though the page does not describe how often each is updated.
Supporting CMSCA's Free Events
CMSCA states that it offers free chess lessons and other events, and that "donations appreciated so we can continue to offer these amazing free events." A PayPal payment option appears on the site, which is the listed way to contribute. Donation is optional — the events themselves are described as free.
What CMSCA Is, in Brief
CMSCA stands for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Scholastic Chess Association. Its stated mission is "Inspiring Minds Through Chess, Coding, Robotics, and More." It invites students across the Southeast region — homeschooled or enrolled in public, private, or parochial schools — to take part in chess tournaments and free chess lessons, open to all youth through 12th grade. The site also notes that its newly launched robotics program quickly reached maximum capacity.
