June SCL Signups are Now Open

Signups are now open for our June League Qualifier and Tournament Series to begin on Monday, June 3, 2019.

New players for our Chess.com tournaments must begin by signing up for our League Qualifier tournament. To be eligible for the League Qualifier you must have been a Chess.com member for more than 30 days and must have a minimum of 20 Rapid rated live games played on Chess.com against at least 10 different opponents. The easiest way to accumulate the needed games is to join G/15+10 or G/30+0 live tournaments on the Chess.com live server. You must successfully complete the tournament by following the rules. You do not need to win any games, but must follow the rules, complete all the rounds, and play at least one game.

Swiss Tournaments

New players can sign up for our 3 round League Qualifier for Chess.com players. You must be a member of the Dan Heisman Learning Center to be included. Then go to slowchessleague.org and register to get started. You don’t have to win a game to qualify. Just follow the rules and complete the tournament.

Qualified league players can choose from:

SCL Fair Play - 4 Rounds in June

1-2 Swiss G/45+45 for Chess.com - 1  game per week

1-2 Swiss G/90+30 for Chess.com - 1 game per week

New Feature - Team Play - We are offering optional team play in our primary G/45+45 section. If you opt for team play, you may choose one of the teams offered or allow the TD to assign your team. The top 4 board scores will count for your team each round. Team players also compete as individuals.

Signups will close at 22:00 League Time on Friday, May 31. Go to slowchessleague.org to get in on the fun.
