Is my child ready for a tournament?
Probably! Our tournaments are really beginner friendly, and hundreds of children do their first ever tournament with us each year. Anyone comfortable with the rules and has gotten a checkmate or two (on purpose) during a game in chess club is ready.
How does a Swiss style chess tournament work?
Chess tournaments are non-elimination, so all players will play all rounds regardless of their results. They are divided into groups called “Sections” based on grade and skill level, and play only against other children in their section. Each game a player wins is worth one point, and a draw (tie) is worth half a point. Chess tournaments are typically 3-5 rounds. Participants will play opponents with scores similar to theirs. For example, if a player has won their first 3 games, they will be paired during round 4 against another player who has done the same thing (or as close as possible).
The top players in each section (determined by the number of points accrued through the tournament) and the top schools win trophies. When there are ties, we use a 4-level tiebreak system. The day before each tournament we send out an email to the registrants with information and details on that specific tournament.
Do I need to stay the whole time, or can I drop my child off?
We supervise participants while they are inside the playing hall and actively playing a tournament game. The child’s parent or guardian is responsible for supervising him/her at all other times, including prior to the first round, after the last round, in between games, etc.

Scoreing Rules
-
- Win: A player earns 1 point for winning a match. A win occurs when a player successfully checkmates their opponent’s king or when the opponent resigns.
- Draw: Both players earn 0.5 points each in the event of a draw. A draw can occur due to stalemate, insufficient material to checkmate, threefold repetition, or the fifty-move rule.
- Loss: A player earns 0 points for losing a match. A loss occurs when a player’s king is checkmated, when a player forfeits the game, or when the player’s time runs out.
- Bye: In some cases, a player may receive a bye in a round if there is an odd number of participants. A bye typically awards the player 1 point without playing a game.
- Forfeiture: If a player violates tournament rules or fails to show up for a match within a specified time, they may be declared to have forfeited the game, resulting in a loss and 0 points.
- Time Control: In tournaments with time controls, players must make their moves within the allocated time frame. Failure to do so may result in losing on time, which counts as a loss and 0 points for the player who exceeds the time limit.
- Scoring System: The total score of a player is calculated by summing the points earned from each match played throughout the tournament, determining the player’s final standing.
- Tiebreakers: In the event of tied scores at the end of the tournament, tiebreakers such as Buchholz, Sonneborn-Berger, or other predetermined criteria may be used to determine final rankings.
Understanding these scoring rules is essential for participants to track their performance accurately and compete effectively in chess tournaments.
