Regional Tournaments are an excellent way for kids to showcase their skills and put them to the test! They also are a great way to build community within the team and other schools.
It's important to note that Regional Tournaments have limited slots, allowing only 10 students per team to participate. However, coaches have the option to bring along 2 alternates. These tournaments serve as qualifiers for the Oregon State Chess Tournament, with only one Regional Tournament held each year per region.
Chess for Success organizes tournaments across three categories: regional tournaments, state tournaments, and our informal "for fun" tournaments.
Although each of these tournaments may have its own unique set of rules and expectations, you can find general information that is applicable to all tournament types on this page. For more detailed information about each specific tournament, please refer to the dedicated tournament page corresponding to your interest.
Your region is determined by where your school is located.
If you are a home school student, find your region according to where you live. If you participate in a chess club as a home school student, you may be eligible to participate on the team for that school. Talk to your chess club advisor if you're not sure.
