AUTUMN ONE-DAY TOURNAMENT
Thursday 8 April 2010
AUTUMN TWO-DAY TOURNAMENT
Wednesday-Thursday 14-15 April 2010
The One-Day and Two-Day tournaments are intended for all levels of players, especially those who might not be ready to play at the slower time limits and higher standards expected in our more serious tournaments.
Format: Each tournament will be run in one open section suitable for all ages (under 18). You play all rounds (it is not a knock-out) and you play someone with a similar score to yours. This means that after the first round or two you will be meeting players of approximately the same ability as yours.
Eligibility:
Players must
be members of the NSW Junior Chess League and aged under 18 as on the first day
of the tournament.
Please note that membership renewals are due at the beginning of January (If you
have already paid your membership fee for this year, please don't pay again!).

Closing date for entries: two days before each tournament. Late entries may be accepted up to 9.15 a.m. on the day of the tournament, upon payment of a late entry fee of $10 (per family). This late fee is reduced to late payment fee of $5 if a phone or email entry is made before the day of the tournament. (Please do not enter by phone or email unless your posted entry is likely to be late.) Late entries and late payments delay the start of tournaments - please enter (and pay) beforehand. If necessary, late entries will be processed after play starts and late entrants (and latecomers even if already entered) will miss the first round.
