Players are matched with an opponent in each round whose score (See below) is the same or very near the same. The games are played in "rounds." When all the games in a round are finished, the Tournament Director makes pairings for the next round. If you must leave early for any reason, notify the Tournament Director before you leave. Be prepared to stay as long as needed to play all rounds. Number of Games: In each Division, everyone plays the same number of games. Entry fees are used to pay for statewide mailings, venue rentals, trophies, and other costs for the tournaments. Please note that Chess for Success is a non-profit organization.

How to Register: Registration for tournaments is through the online form on this website. If there is a problem completing an online registration, contact the Chess for Success office for assistance. Home-school students who do not actively participate in their public school chess club, and players who attend schools without chess clubs, must register as "individual" players. The public school chess-club advisor decides if home-school students "actively participate" and selects the team members. Home-schooled students who actively participate in the chess club of the public school for the area where they live are eligible to participate on the team for that public school. Registration: Each school may enter up to 10 players per Division. If an error is made in assignments, or a score is written down wrong, tell the Tournament Director immediately. The Tournament Director decides who plays black and white in each game. Sometimes a player will be assigned white or black two rounds in a row, but almost never three in a row. The players will never play each other twice. Players won't play someone from the same school unless maybe in the last one or two rounds. For example, if you are a 7th grader, you might play 6th, 7th, or 8th graders, but never someone from 5th grade on down, or 9th grade on up. Players will play only others in the same Division. The Executive Director of Chess for Success must grant any exception to this practice. In the following years, it will be assumed that the player will advance one grade annually and will play at the corresponding grade level. The grade level will be the one that most closely matches the player's age and traditional grade level. For players not enrolled in a school with grade levels, a grade level will be determined the first year a player enters the Chess for Success tournament. Players enter the Division that corresponds with their current grade level.

If a player thinks his or her opponent is breaking the rules of chess, or if other problems arise, the Tournament Director or an assistant needs to be advised immediately.Įach Division is a separate tournament. The Tournament Director makes "pairings" (decides who plays whom), acts as the referee, keeps score and names the winners at the end of the tournament.
