Notes/Terms: | Please note: Registration closes at 7 pm on Thursday, May 30 or sooner if the spots are filled. LIMITED ENTRY. No at the door registration. Open to Aspiring Chess Players in grades K to 12 and limited to the first 100 entries, this fun chess tournament is hosted at Coral Springs Charter School and produced by the staff at The National Scholastic Chess Foundation. Our event is open to all students in grades K to 12 attending school (public, charter, private, religious or registered in homeschool) in South Florida. This event is not affiliated with BCPS. The tournament is free thanks to the support of The City of Coral Springs. Format: Game/30, delay 5 if clocks are used. Notation is required but clocks are not. TDs may place a clock on games that are running up against the time control. This tournament follows USCF rules but is not rated by the Federation. Prizes: We will award trophies to the top performers (up to 10 places per section - 20 total, based upon registration; players must have a minimum score 2.5 or higher out of 4 rounds). We have an additional prize for Top Girl. Advance Registration Only. Check-in begins at 8:00 am. First round begins at 8:30 am. Sections: Players regardless of grade with a USCF Rating of 500+ must play in the Middle-High School section; the decision of the tournament director on sections is final. Again, the tournament is not rated by USCF, but this is a way to give a challenge to our more experienced players while also ensuring our newer players have a positive introduction to chess competition. Other details: By registering for this event, participant agrees to abide by the rules and the direction of the tournament director. For more information on how tournaments work, visit this page.

If there is a reason why your child cannot be videotaped, please advise the staff at check-in and we will do our best to accommodate you. Children must have a responsible adult with them (parent or a coach you trust) during the entire event.
