Sehome-Woolley 2008 Grand Prix



Grand Prix Final Standings

Scholastic chessplayers from 3rd-12th grades of all abilities are invited to attend the Sehome-Woolley 2008 Grand Prix, being held on four Monday evenings this Fall.

Grand Prix Format: The player who accumulates the most points overall in all four Grand Prix tourneys will be declared 2008 Grand Prix Champion. The five players that accumulate the most points in all four Grand Prix tourneys will receive chess trophies.

At each Grand Prix tourney, players are placed in separate 4-player 'Quad' sections of approximately equal playing ability based on the latest NWSRS ratings. If you are unrated, you’ll be placed in a low rated playing section appropriate to your age. Chess notation is required for all players and chess clocks will be used. If you're not familiar with recording chess moves, or using a chess clock, don't worry. Instruction will be available on site.

To Register: If you think you might attend, do email your entry in advance (by 8pm the eve before the tourney) to Randy Walther. Advance entries pay $5 at the door. On-site entries will pay $10. Email Name, School, Grade, and name of tourney you are entering.

Example Entry: Tim Spitzer, Sedro-Woolley HS, Grade 12, GP1

Chess Game USCF and WHSCA tournament rules are in effect, i.e. if you touch a piece, you must move it. Bring a pen or pencil, since chess notation is a requirement. In time pressure (when either player has less than five minutes remaining on their clock) chess notation becomes optional for both players. Score sheets are provided, but bring a chess clock if you have one! There isn’t any player elimination element in this event, each player plays two games per tourney. You can choose to play in one, two, three or all four of the Grand Prix tourneys. The last round each evening will be completed by 9:35 p.m., but most players will be finished well before 9:00 p.m. All the tournament games will be NWSRS rated.

Schedule:
Registration and check-in: 5:50 - 6:10pm
Registration and check-in closes at 6:10pm so don’t be late!
1st Round to start promptly at 6:30 and the 2nd round will begin by 8:00.

Format: Four player sections, two rounds each. Players seeded by rating; if unrated, then by grade. Open to all 3rd through 12th graders.

Time Control: 45 minutes per player with 5 second delay.

For further information contact organizer Randy Walther.
