The Northampton County Community College is holding its 6th Annual Fall Chess Championships for children ages 5 to 16 on Saturday, November 10, 2007 (learn more or register here).
The tournament has a rated and non-rated division. The non-rated division is further divided by age. While rated follows USCF regulations, the non-rated side plays without a time limit. The tournament directors and helpers do an excellent job teaching and reminding players how to self-regulate a game and they check each ending prior to allowing the game to finish.
Every player is guaranteed five games, players are bracketed so they do get grouped against others with similar number of wins and losses after the first round, and awards are given for 1st and 2nd place. There are also door prizes prior to each round.
