The 2022 Autumn Grand Prix Tournaments are open to any 2nd-12th grade players that desire to play competitive NWSRS rated tournament games. Beginner players are welcome! You need to learn the rules of chess before you arrive. Learn or review the rules of chess here (web page) or here (video) if you wish.
Players will be placed in different playing groups of approximately equal playing ability based primarily on the latest ratings. Players will play in 4 player "Quad" sections, six player sections, or eight player sections "Octogonals" . All sections feature three games, no elimination, with a time control of Game/25 minutes with five second delay per player.
The tournaments are rated by the NW Scholastic Ratings System, so tournament rules are in effect: if you touch a piece, you must move it.
Experienced players in the top sections will be required to record their moves, so bring a pen or pencil. Score sheets and sets/boards will be provided, but bring a clock if you have one. It's a no elimination tournament, each player can expect to play three rated games. With the exception of the highest rated players, all players should be finished with their three games before noon.
Schedule for each Autumn Grand Prix:
Check-in opens at 9:00am and please help with the setup, thank you! Check-in closes at 9:10am sharp. Don't be late!
Round 1 - 9:15 or asap
Round 2 - 10:10 or asap
Round 3 - 11:05 or asap
The above is a rough guide, there is no set round start time. If you're in a Quad section, as soon as all four players in a Quad have finished their first round games, they refer to the pairing chart, identify their opponent and board numbers for Round 2, and may begin their next games as soon as they're ready.
After the event, please assist with setting the room back to its original layout. Thanks!
Autumn Grand Prix Prizes
The top five players who accumulate the most points overall in all Autumn Grand Prix tourneys will receive trophies. The 6th - 10th place finishers will receive a chess book, to be awarded at the conclusion of the final Autumn Grand Prix. The top scorer will be declared 2022 Autumn Grand Prix Champion, and will also receive the Gold Plated $100 Dollar Bill (see photo). If ties, higher rated player gets higher place.
At each Grand Prix, section winners earn a chess keychain. If it's with a perfect score, you'll also win a chess book, otherwise a chess magazine. If you have a winning record (2.0) and did not win your section, you'll still receive a chess magazine. So 2.0 or higher will always earn you a prize.
The Grand Prix formula favors players who play each week, and who are improving, so you could win if you put your mind to it! The current, updated NWSRS ratings will be used in each Autumn Grand Prix. If the NWSRS ratings haven't been updated since the last tourney, SwissSys estimated ratings may be used.
The Autumn Grand Prix chess tournaments are directed by Randy Kaech, with assistance from All Of You.
