All other tournaments are open to everyone.*)Awarding $1\,000 in College Scholarships \n\n\n\nFormat:Eligibility: If your child has achieved a rating that placed(s) him/her in a top 100 List for their age and then his/her name appears/published by the USCF onto this Top 100 List\, (By Age or Women and Girls By Age)\, he/she is eligible to register and compete.I have always believed making one of these lists is something to be celebrated…thus\, I created this tournament to do so 5 years ago. In addition\, I created scholarship prizes to award for the top finishers in each of these tournaments. Next\, I wish to extend another offer as my way of saying\, “Congratulations to you for achieving something many wish to do but is difficult.”. If your child registers for the National Junior Chess Congress as well as this USCF Top 100 Lists Tournament\, I will return 100% of this USCF Top 100 Lists Tournament\, entry fee upon completion of their 5th round of the Congress on Sunday (max of $50/player). However\, if the player drops out\, takes a last round bye\, or for any other reason does not complete all five rounds of the National Junior Chess Congress\, then this offer of this refund becomes null and void. \n\n\n\nQualification Lists:By AgeWomen and Girls By AgeAll Online Lists as well as the Blitz\, and Quick lists do not qualify. Next\, As long as your child was on one of the above 2 lists in any month between June 1\, 2022 and June 1\, 2024\, he/she qualifies. Upon registration\, you will be asked to write in the list you were/are on. We will confirm and add you to the Advanced Entries once it is confirmed. 2. Age Determination: If you are between the ages of 5-18 as of January 1\, 2024\, this qualifies you for our age requirement. \n\n\n\n– Grouping of Players: All players will be listed from highest USCF rating to lowest and then placed in groups of 10. The top 10 highest rated players will placed in Group 1\, the next 10 highest rated players will be placed in Group 2\, etc. Rating determination will be as of June 25\, 2022. Groups are formed on Wednesday\, June 29. Ex: 34 students register. We will have 2 groups of 10 and 1 group of 14. \n\n\n\n– Rounds & Round Times: 4 Round Swiss System in Each Group.
