Registration: at the venue from 9am
Approximate finish time: 2:30pm
Price: $50 per team.
Each date will have two grades - A grade (winners qualify for national finals) and B grade for newer schools and players to gain experience in the interschool events while having more even competition than playing in the A Grade. Schools can enter up to 2 teams into A Grade and up to 6 teams in B grade:
- Maximum of 2 teams per school in A Grade
- Maximum of 6 teams per school in B Grade
Entries are subject to venue capacity. If entries exceed capacity, we reserve the right to reduce the number of entries, starting with the B Grade (schools will be advised if this is the case after entries close). We also reserve the right to combine A and B Grades if entry levels are low (again, schools will be notified).
Schools are welcome to enter teams into one, or both grades but must provide a teacher to supervise if entering more than THREE teams.
Teams of home-educated students, and teams from correspondence and online schools can now enter as long as all team members are from the Canterbury region (NZCF interschool rules)
Each team should comprise four players [optional: one additional reserve player]. Players need to be familiar with all rules and use of chess clocks.
Invoicing will be after the event based on team attendance on the day.
If schools need to change or withdraw their entry, please email entries@canterburychess.school.nz.
