February 2026 Ratings used.\nRed Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey\, 4751 Lindle Road\, Harrisburg\, PA 17111 \n½-Byes: In order to allow participation by those players who might not be able to make all of their games\, we allow players to\nrequest a single ½-bye. They are not paired for that round and it is treated like a draw for scoring purposes. \nYou should request the ½-bye right on the entry form. Changes to byes after initial entry will incur a $5 change fee. You can let the pairing TDs know an hour before the 1st and 2nd rounds and for later rounds you must request the ½-bye by the 2nd round. (This is different than when\nwe force someone to take a bye because there is an odd number of players in their section\, in that case they would receive a 1-bye.) \nOn-Site Registration: We do recommend that all players try to register in advance. That makes the tournament organizers’ and directors’ job much easier and it also saves you money. However for those who don’t\, there are limited opportunies to register at the tournament. Entries will be taken on Friday night March 6 from 6 to 10 pm at the tournament site and on Saturday morning March 7 from 10 to 11 am at the site. Those players registering on Saturday will receive a ½-point bye for the 1st round. Entries for the Sunday-only sections will also be taken throughout Saturday until 5:30 pm. \nTeams: School teams can include all players from that school that are playing in the particular section. Club teams must\nrepresent a club which meets at least 8 months per year and is a USCF affiliate. \nClub teams are limited to at most 10 players in a section and all players must have recently attended 6 or more regular meetings of the club. (A club officer must be able to provide verification that players are eligible to compete for their club.) Players may compete for both their school\nand club teams. \nTeam scores are calculated by summing the top 4 scores from members of that team. However\, teams\ncan consist of 2 or 3 players\, though they will naturally be at a big disadvantage in competing for prizes. \nFor schools\, we will be using the “Plus 2 Pairing” rules\, so you won’t in general play a teammate unless you both have at least a +2 score\nand there is no other way to pair your scoregroup. For clubs\, we will avoid pairing teammates until the last two rounds of\nthe tournament. But for those final two rounds\, club affiliation will be ignored in the pairing process. Changes to teams\nafter initial entry will incur a $5 change fee. The 6-12 U1000 and 6-12 Unrated sections will be paired separately\, but will\nhave combined teams of players. \nInformation: For more information about the event visit our website at http://www.pscfchess.org/pascholasticchamp/\nOnce the USCF February rating supplement is available\, we will begin posting entries as they are received. Please check\nthat we have handled your entry correctly and help us correct any problems before the event begins. You can also contact\nTom Martinak martinak_tom_m@hotmail.com 412-908-0286. \nHotel: The tournament is being played at the Red Lion Hotel Harrisburg Hershey\, 4751 Lindle Road\, Harrisburg\, PA\n17111. With the convenience of staying right at the tournament site\, rooms are available for $125 for 1-4 per room. Mention\n“PAST0305” for the best rate reserve by February 19. For further information and to reserve your room: 717-939-7841.\nIn order to encourage the providing of early and accurate information (which will greatly simplify the registration process)\,\nthere is a $5 handling fee for changes/refunds requested after 2/16. \nA one year PSCF (Pennsylvania State Chess Federation) membership extension is provided to all entrants.\nBughouse Tournament: We will be continuing this popular event (now open to both scholastic or adult players).\nYou must register at the tournament site on Friday evening or on Saturday up until 8:30 pm. The tournament will begin\non Saturday at 8:45 pm. The entry fee will be $20/team. Tournament organization and the trophies to be awarded will\ndepend upon the number and distribution of entries. \nOn-Line Registration: Players can register on-line from February 1 (when the rating supplement being used will\nbecome available) until Midnight on March 4. There is a $3 convenience fee added to on-line entries. Links will be on\nthe tournament website.

We host the Open Championships each month\, alternating between our Glen Rock Location and Bergen County Acadmies. A Minimum 1600 USCF rating is required in either: 1) the monthly published rating supplement or 2) live rating based on recently submitted tournaments. \nThe tournament consists of a single section into which all players are grouped. Each competitor plays three games\, matched against opponents based on previous results and rating. This pairing system gives lower rated players the opportunity to test their abilities and prove themselves against National Masters! \nBest of all\, we offer cash prizes! Eligibility for class prizes is based on published rating only. The championship winner earns $200\, second place receives $150\, and third gets $100. Although this statute is rarely applied\, we reserve the right to decrease the prize fund to 70% minimum if total registration is below 30 participants. Additionally\, we offer a $75 cash prize for the top performing U2200\, U2000\, U1800\, under 13 years old\, and over 55 years old players. \nAll games are G/60;d5 (60 minutes per person with a five second delay per turn). The first round will always start at 2 PM exactly. The second round begins at 4:15 PM and the third starts at 6:30 PM. However\, five to ten minutes of leeway are generally granted for players who just finished an earlier round and need a short amount of extra time before their next match. \nThe early bird entry fee is $35. This rate expires the Thursday before the tournament at 11:59 PM\, after which the entry fee is $50. Online registration will expire the day of the tournament at 12 PM. Onsite registration is available from 10 AM till 1 PM on the day of the tournament. \nIt is important that you are aware of our cancellation policy. Cancellations made by 10:00 AM on the day of the tournament will receive a full refund. Cancellations after 10:00 AM are non-refundable. Lastly\, cancellations can be made by emailing or calling us. \nChess sets and score sheets are provided. However\, players must bring their own clocks! \n  \n\n\nOpen \n\n$50.00 USD$35.00 USD \nEarly bird price expires on Feb 04\, 2026 at 11:59 PM \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrize fund\n\n\n\n $825 USD (Based on 30 entries.)\n(Based on 30 entries; Will not reduce below 70%) guaranteed\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchedules\n\n02/07/2026-02/07/2026\n\n\n\nSections\n\nOpen (>=1600)Prize: 200\,150\,100\n\n\n\nByes\n\n\n\nMax of byes: 1\nLast round to request a bye: 1\nNumber of rounds in tourney: 3\nBye note: Only one 1/2 point bye is allowed if requested before start of round 1\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\nOPEN SECTION – 3 ROUND SWISS SYSTEM\n\n\nOpen to ALL ages with USCF rating >= 1600 (Minimum 1600 USCF rating in either: 1) the monthly published rating supplement or\, 2) live rating based on recently submitted tournaments) \nTime limit: G/60\, d5; Rounds: 2 pm\, 4:15 pm\, 6:30PM \nMoney Prizes!\n(Based on 30 entries; Will not reduce below 70%.
