Individual trophies and team trophies will be awarded and will be dependent on the number of participants per grade level or section with a minimum of 1st through 3rd place presented per grade level or section.

Each participant will play five rounds using the SwissSys pairing system (S, C, O tiebreaks). Sections may be organized by grade level and/or rating, depending on the number of registrations.

Doors open at 8 am, check-in is 8:00-8:30 am, and the first round will start at 9 am.

FOOD WILL BE AVAILABLE ON SITE!
