Some facts about high school chess in Washington
For several decades now the Washington High School Chess Association (WHSCA) has organized most major scholastic chess events for the state, including the Washington State High School Team Chess Championships. They have also provided structure and oversight to the many interscholastic chess leagues in Washington.
Three years ago the Northwest League became the newest WHSCA league, providing league chess competition for high schools in Whatcom and Skagit counties.
The Northwest League became the seventh WHSCA league. These leagues average ten teams per league, ranging from the large Seattle Metro League (16 high school teams) to the new So. Central Wa. League (3 high schools). Last year 42 teams qualified and participated at the State Championships. A team must place in the upper half of its league in order to qualify for State.
This year's Washington State High School Team Championships will be held on February 22-23, 2002 at Issaquah High School.
