YOU’RE INVITED!!  Come and join us at the first annual David J. Winter Invitational Tournament.  Who is David J. Winter you ask?  He is the patron saint of Chess at Sutton Middle School.  Without his caring and hard work we would have no program and SMS Chess would not exist.

This tournament is RATED and every player, including alternates, must have a current USCF membership to compete in this event.  Please do not begin registration until you have the following information for each player: first & last name, grade, USCF ID & expiration date, board order of the players (strongest player = player 1).  Your team must include: your top 5 players from the State qualifier or the next 5 players on your team if you school was invited to State.

Format: Game/25 minutes with a five second delay (G/25; d5) for all sections.  Five-player ordered board format with Swiss System pairings will be used in all rounds. In determining standings at the end of the tournament the primary factor will be the number of match wins.

Invitees: Teams will be invited based on State qualifier performance and will be listed on the event entry on the GCA website.

Entry fee: $150 per invited team. Fee must be paid online at registration.  Registration and payment deadline is 9AM Wednesday, March 21, so that alternates can be notified if necessary. This deadline is firm. No on-site registration.

 

Register online at: DJWinter Invitational *No onsite registration available* To withdraw your team, send an email to SuttonMSChess@gmail.com by 11PM Mar 24th for refund. There will be a $15 processing fee.

Trophies will be awarded to the top team of each section (6–8, K5, K3).
