Description

The Greater NY Scholastics uses a format unique to scholastic events: the Primary (K-3) Championship and the Junior High (K-9) Championship are always held on the Saturday of the event, while the Elementary (K-6) Championship and High School (K-12) Championship are held the next day. This means that any player in grades K-9 is able to participate on consecutive days if they wish, and a lot of players do so. The Primary, Elementary, Junior High, and High School Championships are actually four separate one-day, five-round tournaments. Within each of these four tournaments are three sections: Varsity (no upper or lower limit on the rating of participants), Junior Varsity (open to players rated less than 1600 in the High School, rated less than 1000 in the Elementary and Junior High, and replaced by a K-1 section in the Primary tournament), and Novice (open to players rated less than 1000 in the High School, and rated less than 700 in the other events).
