Interested in hosting a future event?
The tournament is open to all Oregon students
in grades 6-12, whether they have participated in a league or not. Please check our bylaws to learn more about
tournament eligibility. To find out the OSAA designation for your school, visit http://www.osaa.org/schools/
There are two sections in the tournament that all Washington students in grades 6-12 are eligible for,
whether they have participated in a league or not: The Open team and Individual sections.
VARSITY Teams may be formed of students
who attend school or reside in Oregon high schools, grades 9-12. One team per high school allowed.
JV Teams may be formed of students
who attend school or reside in Oregon schools, grades 6-12. One team per high school allowed. Must
have at least one high school player from the high school they represent.
INDIVIDUAL Open to Oregon and Washington students grades 6-12.
OPEN Teams may be formed by any group of students who attend school or reside in Oregon
or Washington, grades 6-12.
Titles Awarded: State High School chess team titles will be awarded in the Varsity and JV
sections to the overall section winner (overall state champion) and according to OSAA Classification (top score amongst 6A
teams, top score amongst 5A teams, etc.).
SECTION RATINGS & SEEDING Each player
on the team will be assigned a rating based on their highest established rating in the NWSRS and USCF. If both are established
or neither is established, we will assign the higher of the two. If a player is not rated in either system, they will be considered
unrated and receive a rating per NWSRS guidelines of 100 points per grade (example - grade 10 = 1000 rating on unrated
players).
For purposes of pairing/seeding, the team's average rating will be used.
Registration deadline - Wednesday, February 22nd
Absolutely no unregistered teams will be accepted at
the door. Knowing who is coming beforehand is key to ensuring we start on time. Coaches must bring
the certification letter from their school (no exceptions) with all players listed or they will not be allowed to play.
All teams must present their first round lineup via email by midnight
Wednesday, February 22nd. Teams who fail to present their first round lineup will forfeit their first round, unless
prior arrangements are made with the Executive Director. Last minute changes may not be approved due to time schedule.
