WSCF's ChessKid virtual tournament season is October 9th - March 5th. Games are on Sundays, beginning at 5:00 pm with five round G15 in two divisions, U900 and Open. Here’s how you join in on the fun!To be eligible each player needs to be part of the WSCF ChessKid “group.” Following registration for the tournament season the player will be assigned to the statewide WSCF ChessKid “Club.”  Players can take part in the tournaments with just the free basic ChessKid memberships and do not need to be a current member of an organized chess club group.  We currently have about forty groups in WSCF’s ChessKid account. If you are not part of one of these club groups, you can be assigned to WSCF’s “at large group” and then be added to the statewide WSCF Club. Once this happens the tournaments will appear automatically on the player’s home screen when they log in. If you are not part of a current group, please register for the virtual tournaments. We will then assign you a username and password, add you to the “at large” group and then to the “WSCF Chess Club.” If you already have a ChessKid account, we will then send you a registration code to add you to the WSCF “At Large “group.  STEPS <ol><li><a href="https://www.wisconsinscholasticchess.org/2022-2023-virtual-tournament-season-registration/">Register</a> for the entire season via THIS page. <ul><li>NOTE: <span style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);font-family:Roboto;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:0.25px;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline !important;box-sizing:inherit">Virtual season registration is a one-time/annual occurrence.
