● This is the official regional qualifiers for years 1-6, 7-8 and 9-13 for the NZCF national interschool finals. Competition will be run with clocks using the same format as previous years.
● There is a limit of TWO teams per school in each age group division:
- Primary (years 1 to 6)
- Intermediate (years 7 to 8)
- Secondary (years 9 to 13)
Players need to be familiar with all rules and use of chess clocks.
Entries are subject to venue capacity. If entries exceed capacity, we reserve the right to reduce the number of entries (schools will be advised if this is the case after entries close). We also reserve the right to combine age groups if entry levels are low (again, schools will be notified).
Schools are welcome to enter teams into one, two or all grades but must provide a teacher to supervise if entering more than THREE teams.
Teams of home-educated students, and teams from correspondence and online schools can now enter as long as all team members are from the Canterbury region (NZCF interschool rules)
Invoicing will be after the event based on team attendance on the day.
Entries open 15th May.
If schools need to change or withdraw their entry, please email entries@canterburychess.school.nz.
