2010-2011 COLORADO SPRINGS SCHOLASTIC CHESS SERIES

We are delighted to announce the schedule for the 2010-2011 Colorado Springs Scholastic Chess Series (CSSCS). The 2010-2011 season will be our ninth season and we have many exciting features and prizes.

HERE'S WHATS HAPPENING FOR THE 2010-2011 CSSCS:

1.) We are very pleased to announce the same the location for our ninth season. Once again, our location for the series is THE GRACE PLACE, 2403 Templeton Gap Rd. Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907. This church facility is a very youth friendly environment with many amenities. The playing area is quiet with very comfortable chairs. The "skittles" rooms are downstairs, with many amenities.

2.) As always, All participants will receive an award or prize! No player will ever go home empty handed. Awards\prizes will be different for each event.

3.) Events #1.. #3... #5...will feature TEAM TROPHIES. Events #2... #4... #6 will feature CLASS PRIZES for lower rated players in rated divisions, strong performers in unrated divisions.

4.) The names of players who do not own a chess clock will be entered into a drawing. At each of the first six events, one name will be drawn and that player will win a CHESS CLOCK. A separate drawing will be held for players who already own a chess clock. That player will win back their entry fee.

5.) Concessions will be made available by the GRACE PLACE staff. Last season’s concessions brought rave reviews and included Soups……burritos……a Chili Cook-off, and much more.

6.) One or two parent divisions per year will be declared a “bragging rights” event, with an added “prize” or two.
