EAGLERIDGE BATTLE ROYALE
THIS SATURDAY APRIL 18 IN FERNDALE
FOR K-8th GRADES  -- FIVE PRIZE SECTIONS

Info, register: http://northwestchess.info/eagleridge2026.html
Prepare to think hard, have fun, and play chess!  Featuring four playing sections and five award sections:  K-2nd, a 3rd grade section, 4-5th grades, and one Middle School playing section with two prize divisions, Premier (upper half of field) and Reserve (lower half of field), each with their own set of trophies and medals.

The tournament also serves as the Ferndale Elementary Schools Chess Championships.  The top three performances in each grade (K-5) among students in the six Ferndale elementary schools will receive certificates of recognition as Ferndale Elementary Schools Champions.


2.
SOCCER AND CHESS TOURNAMENT AT THE SAME TIME?
DO BOTH


If your student wants to play in the Eagleridge Battle Royale this Saturday, but also has soccer (or other), here's how you can do both.

Players can miss as many chess tournament rounds as they need to, and still play in the remaining rounds.  If the student misses one or two rounds, they will get a free half point (equivalent of a tie, or draw) for each round they miss.  If missing more than two rounds, zero points for those rounds.  When you register, just inform the tournament director which rounds you'll be missing.

To see if you can do both this Saturday, here's the schedule for the Eagleridge Battle Royale on Saturday April 18.  Most games finish within 40 minutes of starting.
       Registration closes 9:25
       Round 1: 10:00 or asap
       Round 2: 11:05 firm
       Round 3: 12:10 firm
       Round 4: 1:20 firm
       Round 5: 2:30 firm
       Awards ceremony 3:40pm

About 1500 chessplayers from Kindergarden to 12th grade will descend upon the Tacoma Convention Center to compete at what has become a gigantic chess festival.
