2010 Individual Scholastic Championships
The State Individual Championships for K-12, K-8 and K-5 will be a 5 round G/90 Swiss System individual tournament. Pairings will be accelerated if the number of entries is large enough.
Rounds 1-3 will be conducted on Saturday at 12:00, 3:15 and 6:30 and Rounds 4-5 on Sunday at 10:00 and 1:30 followed by the trophy presentations at 4:45. All times are Central Time.
Any scholastic player residing in Kentucky is eligible for this tournament. Since this is an individual event, players from the same school may be paired against each other.
The State Individual Championships for sections K-3 and K-1 will be a 5 round Swiss System individual tournament. Pairings will be accelerated if the number of entries is large enough. Rounds 1–4 are G-30 - Round 5 is G-45.
All four rounds will be played on Saturday at 11:00, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 4:00 followed by trophy presentations ASAP. All times are Central Time.
Any scholastic player residing in Kentucky is eligible for this tournament. K-3: This is an individual event; players from the same school may be paired against each other.
K-1: Players from the same school may be paired against each other in the final two rounds if necessary to determine the individual champion. Pre-K players will be eligible to be recognized as the K top scorer.
The K-1 individual state championship will include a team state championship. The K-1 event will be paired using the team modified Swiss system, however if any one team has more than 50% of the players in a top score group in the last two rounds of the tournament, teammate and/or siblings may be paired to increase the likelihood of a clear individual winner. The primary purpose of the K-1 individual state championship remains the awarding of a clear individual winner – the team event is secondary.
The registration form and early bird discount entry fee of $20 is due on March 13, 2010. Regular entry fee of $30 if postmarked on or after March 13, 2010 and received no later than March 17, 2010.
