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). Click here for the Tournament registration link. on the Florida Chess Association website.

We are currently 60+ players for our 2nd attempt to bring back a true Northern Regional Championship sanction by the Florida Chess Association, Inc. They are the only US Chess Affiliate authorized by crown a state champion in Florida.

Entry fee increases tonight with the added requirement of taking a 1st round bye (sit out the round) for late registrations. This is done to ensure the event starts on time. It is not fair for 60 or 100 players to wait while late entrants are paired. We've done that in the past and we end up way off schedule.

Awards: Top 5 players and Top 3 Schools within each section. See the list below and look at the schools needing only one more player to make a school team. Registration fee is $30. Please use chessregister.com.
