We are hosting a friendly, semi-competitive community chess tournament at Seward Montessori this Summer! 5 rounds of 30 + 5 time control. We will be using a Swiss scoring system, with +1 point awarded per win, +.5 Points awarded for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. Chess boards will be provided, chess clock apps are recommended for keeping time - if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to andrew.kallevig@mpls.k12.mn.us. Some chess clocks are available for use.

Trophies will be awarded to top 3 players, which will be determined by total score and tiebreakers based on strength of opponent. In addition, first place will receive a new chess set!

This is an unrated tournament of all skill levels- come experience an OTB tournament with your community! 

Tournament specific rules will be:

Illegal moves will be reset, with 2 minutes awarded to the opposing party. 

Quiet Play (No continuous conversation or excessive comments)

Any assistance, please pause clock and raise your hand, tournament staff will assist any disputes/clarify any rules.
