In connection with the Oregon Chess Federation, Washington Chess Federation, Portland Chess Club’s annual Oregon Open, we will be holding the Oregon Open Scholastic Tournament online. While the full three-day Oregon Open tournament will be great for those of you who want the challenge of playing very long time controls against adult players (they play two games a day for three days; see here for more details), the shorter time controls of the scholastic section will be a great warmup for the new academic year of chess.
Format: A four-round Swiss system tournament in two sections: Open and U1100.
Rating: NWSRS Rated. NWSRS ratings will be used to determine pairings and sections.
Time Control: G/45;+5 second increment.
Rounds: 10 AM; 11:45 AM; 1:30 PM; 3:15 PM.
