The organising committee (OC) can be reached at
high.school.chess@gmail.com
It is asked that a representative of each school chess club - teacher, parent, or student - email the OC when the above conditions have been met for your school, and you know that players from your school will be able to attend.

A few notes about the OHSCC:
Why April? It used to be May, but now many schools run the IB programme, and many others run Grade 12 AP courses; both IB and AP courses have international exams in May (the IB exams start Apr 28).
The championship has 3 sections:
Championship (Open to all, 5 rounds);
Intermediate ( rated < 1500 or unrated, 6 rounds);
Beginner (rated < 1100 or unrated, with less than 2 years of tournament experience, 6 rounds)
4 rounds are played on Friday (Ch - only 3), 2 on Saturday
Time control: Ch Rds 1 and 2 1 hr / player; Rds 3-5 90 min / player + 30 sec incr
Int and Beg Rds 1 – 3 1 hr / player; Rds 4 – 6 90 min / player

The organising committee of teachers is working hard to complete arrangements for the tournament site. They will also make arrangements for hotel discounts at one or more nearby hotels for out-of-town students and staff.
They will not hold the tournament Easter week-end (Apr 15-16 – normally this would conflict with the Toronto Open !) or Apr 29-30 (IB exams). The date and site will be announced on the website as soon as possible.
