09/19/08 UPDATE:  Created Team Registration Form  Team Registration Form.xls

09/19/08 UPDATE:  Mick provided 11 USCF players real names for D. W. Daniel High School

09/17/08 UPDATE:  WCL is requesting the following from the participanting team(s).

> 1. Time control

          G/29 for pilot

> 2. Participants usernames and their real name

          (perhaps standard team or school format)

> 3. Coaches/TDs/officials usernames

> 4. Coaches/TDs/officials cell phone numbers and land line numbers at the location of the event

> Also knowing the groups locations, geographically,might prove useful to us.

Pass info to me and I will pass along to WCL.  Mike

 

09/17/08 UPDATE:  

* Time controls - G/29

09/16/08 UPDATE:

* Time controls - G/60 for pilot 

 

PENDING date & locations & player names & TD names

 

09/16/08 UPDATE:  Question, suggestions, & concerns....not only welcome, but encouraged :)

* Team - may be comprised of any student player in the same county, later we should consider narrowing to school district, then school.

 

For limited pilot, 3 players and 1 alternate...later the number of players/boards determined by the two schools (5 or 6 max may be best)

 

All players must be USCF members or USCF Junior Tournament members

 

* Format - Team Play i.e. board 1 vs. board 1  and board 2 v. board 2  etc. (no RR or SS)

 

* Time controls - less than G/30 for pilot to protect regular ratings for technical or process issues.

Otherwise, at least G/60 is probably best.

 

* Location - any computer location with internet access to WCL should be considered, school computers or college campus or any quiet Wi-Fi ‘hot spot’

 

* TD – school team provides at each site ( best if TD does NOT play, but acceptable in pilot if no other option)

 

* Option - Second Full Pilot - after all technical, logistics and process issues resolved from pilot 1 - 5 or 6 players with G/60 time control.

 

* Date - agreeable Saturday (to avoid competition with after school activities) October 27 ?? 

...maybe EVERY forth Saturday for planning purposes ?

 

* Team 'coach' provide - team name - player names & board rank - location - TD name

 

09/13/08 UPDATE:  NEXT STEP - In order (for WCL) to write up a suggested format, instructions and rules, we need to understand your preferences for the pilot event. Our intent is to write up instructions that make this as simple as possible.

 

1. What time control to be used ?

2. Will schools know the player match-ups the day prior to tournament ?

 

09/13/08 UPDATE:  Per WCL - Based on the following students should be able to have the pilot event USCF rated:

 

1. There will be a USCF TD on site at each venue.

 

FYI - An applicant for club Tournament Director (TD) accreditation must sign a statement indicating that he or she hasread, has access to, and will abide by the rules contained in USCF’s Official Rules of Chess.  Three-year renewable term.   Tournament Director Application.pdf

 

2. The entrants will either have USCF full memberships or a tournament membership will be purchased.

 

FYI - $7 Junior Tournament Membership age 25 or younger ($5 applied towards a USCF full membership if purchased within 60 days)

 

FULL MEMBERSHIP:  http://main.uschess.org/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,323/

$17 Student - age 12 or younger

$19 Youth - age 15 and under

$25 Young Adult - age 24 and under

 

09/13/08 UPDATE:  World Chess Live (WCL) is working with SCCA to host internet tournaments.
