SECTIONS: All sections will play 5 rounds using the Swiss pairing system. We will avoid pairing team members against each other as much as possible (i.e, after 3 rounds the 3-0 score group has 4 individuals and 3 are from the same school). Tournament organizers reserve the right to add or combine sections depending on the number of registrations.
HIGH SCHOOL SECTION: Students in grades 9th – 12th. Notation required.
MIDDLE SCHOOL SECTION: Students in grades 6th – 8th. Notation highly recommended.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SECTION: Students in grades 3rd – 5th. Notation recommended
PRIMARY SCHOOL SECTION: Students in grades K – 2nd. Notation would be great, but is not expected.
