General Scholastic Chess Information

As soon as a Coach/Sponsor attends their first tournament they are a voting member of this organization. The annual meeting is held during the State Championship.

The KSCA is authorized by the Kansas Chess Association to be the responsible governing body for Scholastic Chess in Kansas.  The KCA receives its authority from the United States Chess Federation (USCF).

Kansas Scholastic Chess tournaments in Kansas have the following in common:

1)      all are held on Saturday;

2)      all, except the State Championship, have an advance entry fee, normally $5.00 per player - to be eligible for this rate you must email your entry to the appropriate person by Thursday evening;

3)      3) all, except the State Championship, have on-site registration 8:15-8:45am the day of the tournament for a higher fee;

4)      all have no limit on the number of students that may represent that school, but team scores are figured on the top four players from a school based on their results that day;

5)      most have six rounds (every player will play six games) with the first round starting at 9:30;

6)      most tournaments have the first round at Game-20 or Game-25 and each other round at Game-30 (each player has 20-30 minutes to make all of their moves);

7)      all are run by United States Chess Federation Rules.

8)      State Championship Qualifier:

a.       K-12 (high school): Attendance at a minimum of two tournaments with a record of two or more wins at each tournament.
