Team Prizes available for Top 3 Schools across all Sections. The registration form will have a required question asking for your school name. All players from the same school will be grouped in one team and, as a result, will not play each other unless absolutely necessary. The top three scores from each school will be summed to create a final total.

NOTE: For this event, we do not have a Under 1600 or Open Section. Under 1600 players have their own competition scheduled for October 19.  Open players should look out for the next ICA Fide Championship in January (or if you read this far enough in advance, the previous one on October 18-19).

NOTE: This tournament will be held at our Glen Rock Location: 354 Rock Rd, Glen Rock, NJ, 07452.
 

 Tournament registration expires at 12AM the day of the tournament. Early Bird registration expires the Sunday before the tournament.
