Westfield Belconnen (outside Aldi)
Benjamin Way, Belconnen, ACT
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. The time limit is 15 minutes per player per game.
