Ideal for the beginner as well as top-rated competitive players, tournaments are open to all students up to grade 12. Players will participate in multiple sections within the following categories: Primary (K-3), Elementary (K-6), Junior High (K-9) High School (K-12). The games are rated by the United States Chess Federation (USCF). The January 2020 USCF Rating List is used (but unofficial ratings at www.uschess.org<\/a> are usually used if players would otherwise be unrated on the Jan. 2020 official rating list).<\/p>\n
Any number of players may participate from a school to help compete for team prizes (2 or more from the same school make a team), but at most the four top-scoring players from the school produce its team score. Players without school teams compete for individual prizes. Prizes are awarded to the top-scoring players and schools. Students can win both team and individual prizes.<\/p>\n
