2010 CHAMPIONSHIP!
TBA
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/
Teams will be grouped by OSAA classification and championship titles will be awarded to schools
in 1A through 6A in both Varsity and JV.
VARSITY Open to Grades 9-12. One
team per high school allowed.
JV Open to 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 Grades 6-12.
OPEN Teams may be formed by any group of students who attend school or reside in Oregon,
grades 6-12.
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. This applies only to Swiss
sections. In round-robin sections, where everyone plays everyone, the color assignments and order of rounds is random.
Registration deadline - TBA
Absolutely no unregistered teams will be accepted at
the door. Because of the possibility of different schedules, we must know who is coming prior to the
day of the event. Every year, coaches ask that we start on time and finish on time and that's our goal.
In order to accomplish this, we need to make decisions about sections ahead of time so we don't hold things up during registration.
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
February 25th. 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.
PLEASE NOTE: Rounds will be scheduled based on section sizes. Every effort will be made
to keep OSAA classifications together. Combined sections will most likely be round robin so that all teams play each
other. Only those games played against classifications will count for championship titles. In combined sections,
overall winners will win a free pizza for their team.
