Details
Teams can register in groups of three for a 6 double round blitz tournament. Players will be paired using the regular Swiss format, ensuring they do not compete against members of their own team. Additionally, in the double round each player will face their opponent twice, playing one game as White and one game as Black. At the end of the tournament, the points earned by all three players on each team will be combined to determine the team’s total score. The team with the highest total score will be declared the winner.
In addition to team awards, there will also be prizes for outstanding individual performances. Schools are welcome to register multiple teams for the tournament.
