QUAD SECTIONS
Open to players in grades K - Adult Quads will
be grouped by rating on tournament day. We use the latest ratings file from NWSRS & in dual rated sections we will
use the latest USCF rating whichever is higher. If no rating is available from any other source, we will use NWSRS guidelines:
K-4th grade = 400 points with 100 points added for each grade level. Homeschool students will use the grade level recorded
at their ESD. Adults without ratings will start at 1200.
All of the scholastic sections will be NWSRS
rated. No USCF Membership is required. Although... as always, USCF rules will be followed.
If four players in a quad are current USCF members, we will dual rate the quad.

Where the heck is Clatskanie? We're just across the river from
Longview, WA and about an hour NW of Portland. A few blocks from our playing site is a covered skate park, kayak rentals
and a great pizza place! Our tournaments are friendly, fun, have unique awards and are definitely worth checking
out.
Directions: Take I-5 to the Longview WA exit #36. Follow the signs to the Lewis
& Clark bridge. Cross the Columbia River into Oregon. Turn right onto Hwy 30, travel 11 miles. We're
a one stoplight town... don't blink or you may miss it! Two streets past the light, turn left onto Bryant
St. The playing site is 5 blocks up on the left.
Or.... take Highway 30 from Portland or the Coast and follow the directions above.
CONCESSIONS
Beverages and snacks will be available onsite.
BRING
Folding chairs for parents (seating is available, but if you have a comfortable
folding chair I'd bring it!), chess sets & clocks if you have them. Don't forget your winning attitude
and... bring a friend!
