RULES & SCHEDULE:
All participants get to play 5 rounds using the Swiss pairing system. There is no “elimination” for losing early rounds. We will avoid pairing team members against each other as much as possible. Tournament organizers reserve the right to adjust sections depending on the number of registrations.
For all sections - Game in 30 minutes (each person has 30 minutes for all of their moves) with a 5 second delay per move. Games started without clocks may have chess clocks placed on them when 40 minutes have elapsed from the start of the round with 10 minutes remaining for each participant.
Clocks and notation required for players in U1200, U1500, and Open. Standard USCF rules will apply. Sections may be subdivided into smaller sections based on rating and/or age. NWSRS Rated.
HALF POINT BYE:
Participants can request in advance up to two Half Point Bye(s) (for instance, to make it to a sporting event). All requests must be sent by e-mail to Chad Lykins at chad.r.lykins@gmail.com by Friday October 27, 2017. Please include which round(s) the bye’s are needed, player’s name, grade, school, and NWSCF ID if they have one.
