Scholastic Chess Tournaments by State (K–12, Rated)

Grade caps, not birth dates. A K–5 section needs a grade to check, and a rating ceiling is still exclusive: 800 is not under 800. The busy season is the first quarter, ahead of the spring national events.

Sample events are on because a US Chess API key is not configured. They are fictional and labeled. Organizer submissions still appear. Read the Supernationals guide.

By state

How a section is checked

Enter the published rating, the rating floor, the game count, and the school grade. We do not ask for a date of birth. Established means more than 25 games. A floor at or above a section ceiling blocks the section even when the current rating looks low enough.

Parents and coaches keep IDs on a roster instead of making accounts for students.
