2020 Arizona Scholastic State Chess Championships:

To play in the Arizona Scholastic State Chess Championships ("State") on May 1-3, 2020 (www.nazchesscenter.org), a player must qualify at a Regional Qualifier. Players qualify by: K-1 section: play at least 4 rounds OR score 3 points; Primary K-3, Elementary K-6 (or K-5), and Junior High K-8: score at least 3 points at a qualifier; High School Grades 9-12: do not have to qualify. Players must qualify in the section in which they will compete at the State Championships. There is no longer +1 or +2 for teams, coaches may no longer substitute players for ones who have qualified. Each player qualifies his own spot. If you do not qualify for State by playing in an ACFI approved qualifier, but have tried, you may play in the under sections at State: K-3 U400; 4-6 U500; 6-8 U700; 9-12 U1400. Under sections are open to all who have attended a qualifier, whether they have qualified or not, if their rating is under the specified rating number. Under section players play in the grade range of their section, no ‘playing up’.

2020 “State” will be held at Coconino High School, Flagstaff, AZ.
