ELIGIBILITY

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. 

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.

JUNIOR VARSITY 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.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL Teams may be formed of students who attend the same Oregon school, grades 6-8.  One team per school allowed.

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.). The title of OHSCTA Junior High School Chess Team Champion wil be awarded to the top finisher in the junior high school section.   

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.

FOOD INFO

From Dennis: Petersen at La Salle College Prep:

"I have confirmed with the Athletic Dept at La Salle College Prep that the La Salle Booster will be taking care of providing food both Friday and Saturday.  They will be selling the same items that are available at all the sports events during the season.  I believe at this point it will be Pizza, snack and drink on Friday and they will have the barbaques going cooking hot dogs and hampburgers, chips drinks etc on Saturday.  I will have the full details on cost soon.  They will offer pre sale of food and meal tickets to get an idea of the number of hot dogs hamburgers and pizza to have on hand."

Please download and print the meal ticket registration form. By using the form and sending it to Dennis when ahead of time a discount is available. Contact Dennis on any questions: legprod@ix.netcom.com
