BIG CHANGES ARE HAPPENING AT THE SCHOOL CHESS ASSOCIATION! Posted Thursday, September 1, 2022 by Lorene
Starting with our new 2022-2023 scholastic chess season, the School chess Association is changing the way we define the sections in our standard tournaments.

Standard tournaments will still have four sections, but are grouped differently than before.

Starting this year we will have K-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12 sections. If there is a USCF rated section, that will be for grade K-Adult.

This change will now put the SCA in closer alignment with most of the public schools in Minnesota..

For the Statewide Minnesota Tournament, we will also be grouped by K-2, 3-5, and 6-8. The Lawrence Lampert Memorial Tournament will be 9-Adult.

If you have any questions about this new alignment, please give Lorene a call at 763-593-1168.

Please see our Tournament page or our 2022 Fall Flier for the 2022-2023 tournament schedule.
