The 2009-2010 Scholastic Season Begins in
September
Our tournaments are
run by a USCF certified Tournament Director. All tournaments
are rated by the USCF and require USCF membership.
This is currently $16 per year for under age 13 and $20 for under
age 16. It is good for any tournament in the
USA!
We typically play a five round Swiss System
G/30 (30 minutes each player per game). We have three
sections: K-3, K-5 and K-12. For the East Regional tournament
the sections will be K-1, K-3, K-5, K-8
and K-12.

Our tournaments start promptly at 9:30 AM and
we try to finish by 4 PM. We offer half-point advance BYEs in
any round. We provide advance on-line registration to
ensure an on time start, but payments must still be made in
person.
We provide trophies through at least seventh
place for all sections. We also offer team trophies through
third place for all sections. In addition, to keep our
lower rated players motivated and coming back each month, we offer
trophies to the top three players in the "Under" section of each
group. The "Under" section is simply the lower half (by
rating) of each group. We also have awards for Biggest Upset
in each section, again provide recognition and motivation for lower
rated players. Each year we hold a an East Florida
Regional Championship. These prestigious tournaments offer
larger trophies to our champions. At year end, we provide
Grand Prix trophies to the top performing players for the
year. This is based on total points earned over the board
(no BYE or forfeit points) for all
tournaments.
Below is the schedule for our 2007-2008
Scholastic Season. The schedule is tentative, so check back
often for possible updates.
