Team Registrations are now open!! 

And most of the matches start on the first Thursday or Friday of Term 2 – so please get your team nominations in before the end of term. We will be updating the website with the team registrations and any other news so check www.sajuniorchess.org for the latest details.

To nominate a team for a venue, simply txt to Alan Goldsmith on 0401 672 481 or email agoldsmith@internode.on.net the name of your team(s) and the venue(s) you would prefer for the team(s).

The primary A Grade and Secondary Div 1 and Div 2 teams all have 5 players in each team, while the Primary B and C Grades and Secondary Div 3 only has 4 players per team.

Please note that the primary competitions at PAC will take place on Thursday afternoons, not Fridays,  in Term 2 –  5th & 19th May and the 2nd and 16th June. This means that the Primary A Grade, and the primary B and C Competions held there will take place on the Thursdays which may prove a benefit or a hindrance to some schools.

We will run a second Primary A Grade competition at the Chess Centre on Fridays, starting at 4pm.

Also, we are delighted to have St Andrew’s again taking part in the competitions and their venue will be available on Thursdays, along with Grange PS this year.
