After our very successful Regional Championship, the next level opportunity is to compete in the state championship. There are more sub-sections in this event making it more competitive for lower and non-rated players. There are also side events like Bughouse and Blitz championships. This event will also determine who will represent Florida at each of US Chess' National Tournament of Champions events where each state sends their best player to compete against other state champions. Those events are the Denker (9th-12th graders), the Barber(K-9th graders) and the Girls Championship (top girl).
