Championship sections require qualification at a state qualifier tournament during the school year. Premier sections are open to all students under the ratings threshold, regardless of qualification. This includes players who qualified for the Championship section but are below the ratings cutoff. All sections will be NWSRS Rated. Championship sections and MS/HS Open sections will be dual rated NWSRS/USCF. Participants in those sections will need a current US Chess Membership. Financial assistance for USCF Membership is available upon request. No qualification required for Kindergarten students.

For a list of qualified students and a more detailed breakdown of the qualification requirements, please visit: http://ratingsnw.com/qualifiers.html

Players can register at any time, regardless of qualification. Players who qualify after registering can switch to the Championship section at any time prior to the registration cutoff.
