NOSC Qualification Weekend 2 Results Released

US Chess, in partnership with the Internet Chess Club (ICC), has concluded its fair play review of the second qualifier weekend of the National Online Scholastic Championship, which features sections K-1, K-3, K-5 and K-6. Results have now been certified and can be found here.  An award breakdown and qualifier list can be found here. With the conclusion of the weekend 2 fair play review, all qualifiers are now final.

US Chess takes fair play very seriously. Every game played during the event was carefully scrutinized during live play using the ICC analysis tool. After the tournament, experts from the ICC fair play team performed a thorough forensic analysis on the preliminary findings. A final additional review was conducted by Dr. Kenneth Regan, whose methods were recently endorsed by US Chess.

Any players found to have been affected by a fair play violation automatically had their results adjusted according to Rule 28I2 of the US Chess Official Rules of Chess. These adjustments are reflected in the final certified standings.

Players who qualified for their respective divisions of Championship Weekend have been informed directly via email as of Thursday morning, June 3rd. Please keep an eye out for future communications with comprehensive tournament details, including a link to the help desk, Zoom, and times and dates of town halls to be held next week.
