Bye Policy
Up to TWO half-point byes are allowed in any round except the final round. First round byes must be requested during advance registration. If a player takes a half-point bye, s/he must play a later round. Parents, please sign your children out when they leave for a bye and sign them back in when they return.
Volunteers
As always, we will need parent volunteers to help with set-up, concessions, and (for chess playing parents) monitoring the rounds. Those in charge of chess clubs should email Scott Bates at

We will schedule TDs before tournament day. Please tell your other parent volunteers to visit the sign-up board at the Registration Table on tournament day to sign up for at least one volunteer slot during the day. Chess Coaches, please ensure that you have enough adult supervision for your team. Parking Parking for 30-35 cars is available in the lot on the south side of the school (entrance on Austin Ave.).
