Last year's results! 186 rated games of Action Chess played!

Student chessplayers of all abilities are invited to attend the Monday evening Pre-Season Action Chess tournaments this Fall.

"Action Chess" refers to tournament chess games where each player is given 30 minutes for all of their moves, thus ensuring each game lasts less than one hour and enabling a full three-round tournament to be completed in an evening. The term "Octagonals" means players will be placed into sections of eight players based on ability as determined by WSRS rating, and if unrated, then by age.

Registration for the event is between 6:00 and 6:15 pm at the various sites. This year there will be a $3 entry fee per player to cover administrative costs, scoresheets and awards. Medals will be awarded for clear first in each division.

Intended for students from 4th through 12th grades, younger players may play if they know how to record their moves. The tourneys are sponsored by the Northwest High School Chess League. Players who complete the evening event will gain a state level rating, or handicap, as awarded by the Washington High School Chess Assocation.

Details:

Registration: 6:00 - 6:15pm
Registration closes at 6:15pm
Clocks Start 6:35 or ASAP
Estimated time of conclusion: 9:30pm (final round begins around 8:40)

Directions to Cascades Job Corps Center, Sedro-Woolley:
From north or southbound on Interstate 5 take the Cook Road Exit #232. Drive eastbound approximately five miles until Cook Road ends at a stop light at the Hwy 20 junction. Get in the left turn lane at the stop light and turn eastbound onto Hwy 20. You will corner around an old factory, go under a train trestle, and go straight at a stop light at Township Street (it is also the northbound junction for Hwy 9 and it has a Dairy Queen at one corner). You will turn left off of Highway 20 on to Fruitdale Road about a half mile past the Dairy Queen. Travel about a mile on Fruitdale and you’ll see the entrance to the North Cascades Gateway Center on the right (shortly after passing a golf course that is on the other side of the road). Proceed through the entrance. The road splits into a Y shape. Go left to the Job Corps Center. One block later turn right on Hub Drive. Proceed down Hub Drive and drive through the covered walkways by the chapel. You’ll then see a parking lot on the left. Park there, the Cafeteria is at corner of the parking lot.
