CYO Invitational

CYO coaches have selected their top players to both compete for individual recognition, but also to experience chess at the next level in a USCF-rated tournament.  We hope you consider signing up!

Check-in for the tournament is 8:15a-8:45am, with a player meeting/games starting at 9:00am.  The games should be completed about 12:15pm, at which point awards will be presented if not prior.

The tournament will be four rounds in chess's traditional Swiss style.  That means all players play in all the rounds; there is no "elimination."  Players get 1 point for a win, 1/2 for a draw/stalemate, and 0 for a loss.  The player with the most points at the end wins.
