See the steps to register <a href="http://senecachess.org/event/2021scholasticchamp/"_blank">here. Players must compete according to grade. Playing up a section is NOT allowed in this event. All registration cancellations must be requested prior to the first round of the tournament. All refunds are subject to a $5 processing fee. No refunds will be issued after the start of the first round of the tournament. All results from this tournament (and the distribution of prizes) will be pending until chess.com completes its Fair Play analysis. Official final standings will not be released until after the Fair Play analysis has concluded. SENECA will be relying on chess.com’s Fair Play methodology for this tournament. See the <a href="http://senecachess.org/event/2021scholasticchamp/"_blank">Fair Play section of the event page for more details. The number of rounds may be decreased depending on the number of players in each section. The tournament will have three USCF-rated sections. There will be no unrated sections. Chess.com automatically completes the pairings for each round. Note that chess.com ratings, not USCF ratings, are used by chess.com in pairing players.
