School Chess Challenge 2016 at Westfield Woden

Date: 
Sunday, 13th March 2016
Venue: 

Westfield Woden (Centre Court)
Keltie Street, Phillip, ACT

Format: 

This tournament is run as an individual event, however there are also school prizes awarded. The winning school is determined by adding the 4 highest scorers from each school. This means that your school can enter any number of players, and there is no need to rank them by ability, or assign teams.
This tournament is a 7-round ‘Swiss’ competition. This means that all players play 7 games and no-one is ‘knocked out’ of the tournament.

Chess clocks will be used in this event. There will be a short demonstration on the use of chess clocks before the start of the tournament. The time limit is 15 minutes per player per game.

Children must wear their school uniform on the day of the tournament.
