You must be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student in any state to participate. Play is unrated. A player specifies their choice of section in which to play based on the rating or section choice made at registration. No membership is required in the Boylston Chess Club, the Massachusetts Chess Association, or the US Chess Federation required. Trophies are given to the individual players with the most points for each section, summed across all four meets. School teams consist of the top 4 winning players from the same school, regardless of section, determined per meet. The totals for each meet are added to produce the overall total for the school. School participation is based on the total number of games played by students from the same school, across all sections and meets. A player can join the tournament at any meet. A player does not have to participate in all meets or in all games in a meet. But a player must participate in at least one game in one meet to be included. If a player cannot be at a game, the player should email td@boylstonchess.org at least an hour before the time of the round. Requested "byes" to skip a game are worth zero points. But byes awarded during game play count one point (same as a win) for the player receiving the bye. A bye awarded during game play usually results from pairing with an odd number of players. Players receiving a bye may be paired with players across sections to play side games. These games are not included in the totals for any player who received a win point due to a bye. New players are welcomed. You do not have to had previously played in a chess tournament. New players can join at the start of any round in any meet, as room occupancy permits and as registration time rules allow. See the sign-up for the event for specific time and occupancy requirements. Sections with fewer than 10 players may be merged.
