There are two sections in the tournament that all Washington students in grades 6-12 are eligible for, whether they have participated in a league or not: The Open team and Individual sections.

SECTIONS
VARSITY
Teams may be formed of students who attend school or reside in Oregon high schools, grades 9-12. One team per high school allowed.

JUNIOR VARSITY
Teams may be formed of students who attend school or reside in Oregon schools, grades 6-12.  One team per high school allowed. Middle School Teams made entirely of middle school students will also play in this section.

INDIVIDUAL
Open to Oregon and Washington students grades 6-12.

OPEN Teams may be formed by any group of students who attend school or reside in Oregon or Washington, grades 6-12.

Titles Awarded: State High School chess team titles will be awarded in the Varsity and JV sections to the overall section winner (overall state champion) and according to OSAA Classification (top score amongst 6A teams, top score amongst 5A teams, etc., although schools in classifications with small numbers of participants may be grouped to form a larger combined class section (i.e., 3A-2A-1A).

SECTION RATINGS & SEEDING: Each player on the team will be assigned a rating based on their highest established rating in the NWSRS and USCF. If both are established or neither is established, we will assign the higher of the two. If a player is not rated in either system, they will be considered unrated and receive a rating per NWSRS guidelines of 100 points per grade (example – grade 10 = 1000 rating on unrated players). For purposes of pairing/seeding, the team’s average rating will be used.
