However\, to prevent the strongest players from being stacked on the same team and to protect the integrity of the tournament\, teammates may be paired against each other if required by the Swiss pairing system. \nWhile we will not actively seek to pair teammates against one another\, we also will not explicitly prevent such pairings\, unlike in typical scholastic tournaments\, where teams are predetermined by school and therefore cannot be easily altered. \nCreate a team with your: \n\nSchool\nChess Club\nFamily\nFriends\nSummer Camp\nNeighborhood\nCondo Building\nAny organization\n\nThere are no rosters to submit. \nSimply register under the exact same team name and everyone will automatically be on the same team. \nTo avoid confusion\, choose a unique team name whenever possible. Adding numbers will help. \nBefore registering\, check the Advanced Listings to see whether another team is already using your desired name unless you intend to join that team. \nA simple way to make your team unique is to add a number\, such as Brooklyn Knights 67. \nPlayers may switch teams between tournament weekends. Previous scores remain with the previous team while future scores count toward the new team. \nMaximum 25 players per team each weekend. \n\n\n\nAdults Can Play Too!\nParents\, coaches\, and other adults are welcome to compete in the 900–1300 section and above. \nFor the first time\, families can actually compete together on the same team. \n\n\n\n1900+ Section Adjustment for Overall Team Scoring\nThis tournament uses the standard Swiss scoring methodology (1 point for a win\, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss) \nSince the 1900+ section plays only three rounds (versus 4 for other sections)\, scoring is adjusted accordingly for Team Trophy purposes. \n\nWin = 1 ⅓ point\nDraw = ⅔ point\nLoss = 0 points\n\n\n\n\nSection Time Controls and Start Times\n(PLEASE NOTE STAGGERED ROUND 1 START TIMES) \nAll sections use Swiss Pairings. \n\n\n\nSection\nFormat\nRound 1 Start Time\n\n\n\n\nUnrated–400 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/30 d5\n12:00 PM\n\n\n300–600 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/30 d5\n12:00 PM\n\n\n500–1000 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/40 d5\n11:00 AM\n\n\n900–1300\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n\n\n1200–1600\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n\n\n1500–2000\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\n\n\n1900+\n3 Rounds • G/70 d5\n9:30 AM\n\n\n\n  \nAll sections use Swiss Pairings.

However\, in the other sections\, we will make every effort to avoid pairing teammates against one another\, except in the rare instances where no other pairing is possible. \nWe considered this policy carefully and believe it provides a more rewarding experience for participants while preserving the integrity and fairness of the tournament. \nCreate a team with your: \n\nSchool\nChess Club\nFamily\nFriends\nSummer Camp\nNeighborhood\nCondo Building\nAny organization\n\nThere are no rosters to submit. \nSimply register under the exact same team name and everyone will automatically be on the same team. \nTo avoid confusion\, choose a unique team name whenever possible. \nBefore registering\, check the Advanced Listings to see whether another team is already using your desired name unless you intend to join that team. \nA simple way to make your team unique is to add a number\, such as Brooklyn Knights 67. \nPlayers may switch teams between tournament weekends. Previous scores remain with the previous team while future scores count toward the new team. \nMaximum 25 players per team each weekend. \n\n\n\nAdults Can Play Too!\nParents\, coaches\, and other adults are welcome to compete in the 900–1300 section and above. \nFor the first time\, families can actually compete together on the same team. \n\n\n\n1900+ Section Adjustment for Overall Team Scoring\nThis tournament uses the standard Swiss scoring methodology (1 point for a win\, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss) \nSince the 1900+ section plays only three rounds (versus 4 for other sections)\, scoring is adjusted accordingly for Team Trophy purposes. \n\nWin = 1 ⅓ point\nDraw = ⅔ point\nLoss = 0 points\n\n\n\n\nSection Time Controls and Start Times\n(PLEASE NOTE STAGGERED ROUND 1 START TIMES) \nAll sections use Swiss Pairings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSection\nFormat\nRound Start Times\n\n\nUnrated–600 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/30 d5\n12:00 PM\, 1:30 PM\, 2:45 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n500–1000 (Scholastic Only)\n4 Rounds • G/40 d5\n11:00 AM\, 1:00 PM\, 2:30 PM\, 4:00 PM\n\n\n900–1300\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1200–1600\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1600–2000\n4 Rounds • G/50 d5\n9:30 AM\, 11:30 AM\, 1:45 PM\, 3:45 PM\n\n\n1900+\n3 Rounds • G/70 d5\n9:30 AM\, 12:30 PM\, 3:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Note that round start times for every round have now been set.
