OSCO Scholastic Grand Prix Overview

Grand Prix Standings are linked HERE

Participants in tournaments designated as OSCO Grand Prix events on the Tournaments/Events page will accumulate points from them until the Oklahoma State Scholastic Championship in March. The four Grand Prix scholarships will be based on grade level groupings K-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-12. Grand Prix points awarded for each event will be based upon game points won, number of rounds and a difficulty multiplier based on the maximum rating allowed in the section. Grand Prix points will accumulate from the two state championships and any 3 of the other 5 events (you can miss two and still be in the competition). For details, click HERE

The Oklahoma resident participant who has earned the most points in each Grand Prix division will be designated the OSCO Grand Prix winner for that division. They will also receive a scholarship that is likely to be over $200 (a fourth of $1 per player from all Grand Prix events) to be awarded at the OSCO State Championship in March. The scholarships may be used by the winners for chess expenses as they deem appropriate.

The OSCO Grand Prix scholarships are separate from and may be in addition to the scholarships to be awarded at the OSCO State Championship for the Arnold Denker Tournament of High School Champions and Susan Polgar National Invitational for Girls.

Funding for the OSCO Grand Prix scholarships is from $1 per entrant contributed by Grand Prix Event Organizers, and from Donor contributions specified for this fund. For more information about participation or how to contribute to the scholarship fund, visit the OSCO Grand Prix Details page.
