The Oregon All Stars Invitational Tournament is back!

Have you been working hard to improve your chess game?

OSCF keeps a list of the top rated players in Oregon for each age group, updated every 3 months. Players who have made the top 10 list in just one of those quarters among active players (players who have played at least one USCF-rated tournament during that quarter), will receive an invitation to the annual All Stars Tournament.

Students who have received the Kathryn Rose Taylor Order of the Knight Award for good sportsmanship at the annual Seaside state tournament are also automatically invited.

The annual tournament, placed on hold since the pandemic, will be held this fall. Our volunteers are currently working on establishing a venue and a date. In the meantime, please make sure to get on the list to have your rating considered for our top players list.

Changes for 2024:

  • Players must submit their information on this form in order to appear in rankings.

  • Rankings are now based on age rather than grade, matching the format of the US Chess Top 100 List.

  • Rankings are now based exclusively on USCF ratings.

How to get on the ratings list before the Sept. 14 deadline!
