We would greatly appreciate that schools register their teams as soon as possible in Term 1. We would like most of the competitions finalised before the start of the competitions in week 2 of  Term 2.

The Interschool Secondary Competitions are run as 4 different Divisions, with two Divisions run one week, and the other two, the following week. All the matches take place at the Chess Centre.

The Division 1 and Division 2 Competitions have 5 players in a team, while the Division 3 and the Division 3 Girls Competitions have 4 players in the team.

The Division 1 and Divison 3 and Division 3 Girls Competitions are all played on the same night, while the Division 2 Competition is played on the alternate night.

The Division 3 Girls Competition involves all the Girls Teams initially playing each other, and then all the teams being merged into the general Divison 3 Competition.

The Division 1 games are played at a time rate of 60 minutes per player with an extra 10 second increment being added to each player each time they make a move.

The Division 2 and 3 Competitions play 2 games per night. The first game starts at 7PM and if the games are not finished by 7:30PM, a chess clock is set for the players so that they each have 10 minutes to finish the game. The second game typically start around 7:55PM and the competition is normally all finished by 8:45PM
