2022 Winter Knights Scholastic Chess Tournament
Sponsored by 180 Leadership Coaching
January 15, 2022
Winter Knights offers both Rated and Non-Rated sections. Rated players must register in their grade level section which closely aligns to the upcoming City Chess Grade-Level Championship in March. We are using a longer time control of 45 minutes for the Rated section to help our students prepare for National tournaments that use either a 90-minute or 120-minute time control. Be sure to renew your MCCL membership for 2022 in a separate order before you register for Winter Knights so you will receive $5 off your registration fee.

- K-2nd
- 3rd-4th
- 5th-6th
- 7th-8th
- 9th-10th
- 11th-12th
NON-RATED SECTION
Winter Knights also offers two Non-Rated sections for
students who are new to competitive chess: K-3 and K-5. You do not need a USCF membership to play in the
Non-Rated section. Students in the Non-Rated section will play five
rounds with a game time of 30 minutes with a five-second delay. Non-rated
sections may be merged at the discretion of the tournament director.
