NO REGISTRATIONS AFTER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17.
The Oklahoma Scholastic Chess Organization (OSCO) provides chess tournaments for K-12 students throughout Oklahoma. We are an all-volunteer 501 (c)(3) nonprofit. If you would like to volunteer, connect us with a potential tournament venue, or make a donation, contact us at board@oscochess.org.
Schedule
9:15 Doors open. There is no check-in; all registered players will be paired.
10:00 Round One for all sections will begin following announcements in the playing hall.
Subsequent rounds are paired back to back with a break for lunch.
Most sections have 5 rounds and players will be eligible to play in ALL rounds. This is not an elimination style event.
Awards ceremonies take place for each section after that section's final round is complete.
For late arrivals or last-minute cancellations, send a text to 918-978-1899. This helps us start on time and avoid pairing players with no-shows.
Membership
A current US Chess membership is required for all players. OSCO offers discounted memberships to all registered players, including non-Oklahoma residents. If your player has never had a US Chess membership, or if their membership will have expired by the date of the tournament, visit the appropriate link below after you register.
All players: Grades K–3 rated under 600
All players: Renew an expired membership
Oklahoma residents: First-time membership, Section 2 or higher
Other states: First-time membership, Section 2 or higher
Not sure if your player's membership is still current? Please check before you register: US Chess Player Search (Link opens in a new window.)
Read before you register
When you register, you will be asked to agree to OSCO's terms & conditions. You will also be asked to affirm that you will make sure your player understands our tournament rules and code of conduct. Please take a moment to read them now. (Each link opens in a new window, so you won't lose your place.)
If you or your player have a question about OSCO's rules, please contact us at td@oscochess.org so we can answer it before the tournament.
