Your Mission: Intercept and defend against the enemy patrol headed your way.  Consult with your Commanders (King, Queen), plan with your Majors and Lieutenants (Knights, Rooks) get your Special Forces into the field (Pawns) and go with the prayers of your Chaplain (Bishop).  

 

What’s a Cluster team?  Quite simply, it’s a team where all members attend schools that feed into each other (ES-> MS-> HS).  For example, in Atlanta Public Schools the North Atlanta cluster is as follows: Morris Brandon, Bolton, Garden Hills, Jackson, E. Rivers and Sarah Smith ES all of which feed into Sutton MS which feeds into North Atlanta HS.  Since most private school are K – 12, you would register as normal.  Homeschool students can participate only as individuals.  This event is to encourage teams to reach back to the middle and elementary schools for competition team members in an effort to keep the community connected.  You do not have to be members of the same organized club to play as a team, but it sure is more fun that way! 

 

3 Battalions: USCF membership required: U600, U1000 and Premier for players rated 1000 and above. Players may play up one section if ever within 100 points of the section. New and unrated players wishing to get a rating should play in the U600 section.  Boards will be provided – clock are optional.

As such, this will be a Leave No Trace Event.  In a nutshell, that means at the end of the event we should never know that a tournament was held.  Please police your space and dispose of trash and clean up spills.

 

**Be a good steward of the environment.  Carpool/rideshare where possible.
