Teams:
Team Definition: All “school team”
members must have their primary enrollment in the same school. No combined
schools are allowed. A school is defined as the same building or connected
buildings under the same name. Home schooled players are allowed to form teams
under their local Home School Association of which their family is a member.
Those taking exception to this definition that regularly meet and play together
as a club will be allowed to compete as a “club team”, but not be eligible for
team awards. The Chief TD at a tournament will be the final ruling authority
regarding challenges to the above definition.
Team scores will be the total of the
top 3 scores in a section for players from the same team. There must be at last
two players from the same school to qualify for a team award.
Coaches and Players must verify
proper team affiliations before the beginning of round 2.
Rules:
Pairings will be team sensitive so
long as proper pairings are possible.
The tournament will be run in
accordance with the USCF Official Rules of Chess.
The Chief Tournament Director will be
the final authority regarding all rulings.
Only Oklahoma Students are eligible
for awards.
US Chess Federation membership

No byes in the last round, and all byes must be requested before the end of the
prior round.
Equipment:

Donations
and Volunteers:
OSCO is a
non-profit organization run by volunteers who are interested in helping Oklahoma's
young people better succeed in life through participation in quality chess
activities. Volunteers are needed to help OSCO with its tournaments and other
scholastic chess related activities.
Donations to OSCO also are also an excellent way to help Oklahoma’s youth through enhanced scholastic chess
opportunities. There are several levels of recognition for the various
contribution amounts, as described on the OSCO web site at www.okschess.org.
Donations can also be made anonymously. OSCO also encourages in-kind donations
of products or services directly helpful to OSCO, or to be given away at this
state tournament. In-kind donations will receive the same level of recognition
as cash contributions of the same value. All contributors of $50 or more will
be listed on OSCO’s web site, and receive Patron Membership in OSCO.
For more information, visit www.okschess.org, or call (918)342-4245 or (918)812-1591.
