TO: THE PRINCIPAL AND CHESS CLUB STAFF ADVISOR

We are running a Chess Tournament for students from Grade 1 through Grade 12 on Sat Feb 25 2012 at Stephen Leacock CI.
This tournament will be rated by both the Chess Federation of Canada and the Chess’n Math Association.

This tournament is also a qualifier for the
45th  ONTARIO HIGH SCHOOL CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP
This Championship returns to Toronto May 25-27 2012.
It will be held at Glendon College, York University.
Further details are available at      www.ohscc.on.ca

The attached flyer (2 pages including entry form) has all the details.  Your help in making copies of this flyer available to interested students and their parents is much appreciated.
This tournament is open to all students in Grades 1 through 12.
There are separate sections as follows:
Championship: for players rated 1500 CFC or over (1200 CMA) ;
Intermediate: for players rated 1100 CFC or over (800 CMA) or with 2+ years tournament experience;
Beginner: for players rated below 1100 CFC (800 CMA) and with
                      less than 2 years tournament experience.

Parents and teachers are welcome, but it’s also ok for students to attend on their own, with their parents’ permission.
We will have several teachers and a lot of senior students supervising the event.

Students need to bring a packed lunch, or money to buy. We’ll have pizza and drinks (juice / water) on sale ($5 for 2 slices and 1 drink; $3 single slice).

All chess equipment (sets, boards, and clocks) will be provided by the Ontario Chess Association (many thanks!)
Scoresheets and pencils for recording moves will also be provided.

From this event, one in every 6 students will qualify to attend the
Ontario High School  Chess Championship.  We will pay the entry fee for all qualifiers (up to $50 value).
Special offer: The entry fee for this tournament is $25 for individuals.
           A team of 3 or more from one school may enter for
           $20 each only by sending the entry forms with cheque
           in post by Mon Feb 13 (or use TDSB courier by Feb 15).
