SUMMARY:MasterMinds 2nd Saturday Monthly Chess Tournament - Saturday\, March 14\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:https://mastermindschess.org/tournament-description/ \nhttps://www.chessroster.com/tournaments \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMasterMinds 2nd Saturday Monthly Chess Tournament \n\n\n\n\n\n\nat Tech Freire Charter School in Philadelphia\, PA \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, March 14\, 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho: Players from Pre-K through adult \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat: A one-day tournament to help you prepare for other tournaments like the Liberty Bell\, World Open\, and PA State Championships. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: Saturday\, March 14\, 2026\, with Quad Round 1 at 9:30 AM\, and Scholastic Swiss 10 AM. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere: Tech Freire Charter School\, 2221 N Broad St.\, Philadelphia\, PA 19132 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and Fees: Quads registration is $30 cash only onsite\, no advanced registration. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nScholastic Swiss registration is $10 online at Chessroster.com by Friday\, Mar 13. Registration increases to $25 after 9 PM Friday\, Mar 13 onsite only at the tournament. Onsite Registration is from 8-9 AM\, players registering after 9 AM may not be paired for Round 1. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFormat: A quad chess tournament is a mini\, three-round tournament where four players of similar skill level are grouped into a “quad\,” playing a round-robin format (each plays the other three once) for a balanced competition. Our Quads are open to players who want to play a longer time control. No byes are allowed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Scholastic Swiss is a Swiss-system chess tournament\, a non-elimination format where players compete in a set number of rounds\, playing opponents with similar scores\, ensuring everyone plays in every round (if possible) and strong players eventually meet\, with the winner having the most points at the end. It balances fairness by pairing winners with winners and losers with losers\, avoiding repeat opponents and keeping the competition balanced without knocking players out after a loss\, allowing for comebacks. Each player is allowed one requested half point bye. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSections: Quad players are grouped in fours and compete in a round-robin. Scholastic players can compete in one of four sections: K-3 U500\, K-6 U800\, K-8 U1200\, or K-12 Open. All players must be members of US Chess. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho can Play: All players are welcomed from Pre-K through adult. This tournament is open to out-of-state players. FIRST-TIME PLAYERS ARE ALSO WELCOME!!! \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuad Prize Fund: The winner of each Quad will receive $100 cash. If we have to run a HEX\, a six player Swiss-System\, First place receives $100 and Second place $50 cash. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAwards: There are individual and team awards for the Scholastic Swiss. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIndividual: 1st through 3rd place in all 4 sections. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTeams: 1st and 2nd place Teams across all 4 sections. Teams can be made up of either a school or club. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchool Teams – students on a single campus under one principal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClub Teams – must meet for at least 8 months per year and players must have attended 6 regularly scheduled meetings of the club in the previous 3 months. (A club officer should be able to provide verification that players are eligible to compete for their club.) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlayers on a team can compete across all sections of the tournament for the team trophies. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTournament Schedule: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuad rounds are 9:30 AM\, 1 PM\, and 4 PM. The Scholastic Swiss first round is 10 AM\, the following rounds are as soon as possible. Pairing of the proceeding rounds will take place after all the games of the existing round are completed. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime Control: For the Quads the time control for each player will be Game in 85 minutes with a 5 second delay (G/85;d5) for the entirety of the game. The time control being implemented for each player in the Scholastic Swiss is Game in 40 minutes with a 5 second delay (G/40;d5) for the entirety of the game \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChess Equipment: Quad players provide their own equipment. We will provide chess sets and chess clocks for the Scholastic Swiss. Scoresheets and pencils are provided for all players. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChess Notation: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll players competing must take chess notation. Players are permitted to bring and use their own Scorebooks and pencils if they own them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlayers are encouraged to learn and practice chess notation before entering an Over-The-Board chess tournament. Here is an instructional YouTube video on How To Use Chess Notation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNotes: \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMembership in the US Chess Federation is required for ALL players in this tournament. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nA membership can be purchased for one or two-years at US Chess.
