To all:
Prospective Division 1 teams: See note below!
Entries are starting to come in for the 2019 Wisconsin State Scholastic Chess Championships March 23-24 at the Reeve Memorial Student Union on the UW-Oshkosh campus.
With great thanks to Mark Seghers, he has created a website dedicated to the event! Please check it out at http://
Please use the entry form on page 5 of the flyer and mail the form with a check to the address at the top of that page. If you e-mail the entries, please include everything on the entry form. Ideally, use Excel if you have a large team. Online registration for the JV, K-8 and K-5 sections is available at https://onlineregistration.cc/ then scroll down to the Wisconsin Chess Association section.
Reeve Union reports that the MarketPlace on the first floor will have their Sub Connection open at 8:30 am- 1:30 pm both days. Their Pizza Hut will be open 11 am – 1:30 pm both days.
Their Titan Underground (TUG) in the lower level of Reeve will be open 8 am – 2 pm both days. The TUG has limited food options but has TV’s and game tables for between round recreation.

When entering the tournament remember to include US Chess ID’s and ratings for your players who have a US Chess ID. The March supplement is available online. Go to http://www.uschess.org/
Varsity teams remember that if you want to be placed no lower than a certain division to please circle that on the entry form. You cannot opt to play directly in Division 3. If your team rating is low enough, you will be assigned to Division 3 unless you opt to play up.
FRIDAY NIGHT REGISTRATION: For anyone arriving Friday night, please take care of any registration changes, updates or payments Friday night. I’ll be in the Conference Room on the main level of Gruenhagen after I’ve set up the other rooms. This room is located near the Library Room.
SATURDAY MORNING REGISTRATION: All Saturday morning entries and changes will need to be made at Reeve Union Room 221 which is the vendor/TD Backroom. In order to start on time, please make every effort to arrive by 8:30 am in the event there are changes or additions to your roster.
Remember also that if you plan to stay at Gruenhagen Conference Center to make your reservations by calling 920-424-1106. There is a Friday, March 15 cutoff for reservations to guarantee that your team will stay together on the same floor. After that time, GCC will make their best attempt to accommodate your request.
For information on the Saturday night bughouse tournament see https://docs.google.com/
Note that the bughouse event is run by Mr. Fay of Waupaca HS. The main event’s tournament directors do not know anything about this side event.
There will be no organized activities Friday night or a simultaneous exhibition Saturday night.
Prospective Division 1 Teams: I failed to include on the flyer a team tie break change approved by the coaches at last year’s coach’s meeting. If at the end of five rounds there is a tie for first based on match points, a speed chess playoff will start immediately after all games in the varsity section are complete. The playoff will consist of a 5 on 5 40 point match with a time control of 3 minutes each plus a 2 second increment per move. If that match is tied at 20-20, then a single board Armageddon game will be played by a single representative of each team with the team having the best tiebreaks selecting white (6 minutes) or black (4 minutes with draw odds).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Mike
