CHALLENGE RULES:

The Roxbury Latin Chess Club welcomes those trying to move up in the ladder! In previous years, the top 5-8 would get to play matches against others, although this year it will probably be different. In sum, the top 10 are probably the only members of the Chess Team who will get to compete interscholastically. But what if you don’t think that the captains seeded the ladder right? What if you’re in the “Challengers” and want to play against other teams? What if you want a crack into the top 5? You need to challenge someone, and here’s how the RLCC is doing it this year. You can move up by:

Placing really really well at one of RLCC’s Arena Tournaments and causing the captains to rethink your spot
Direct challenges!

As RLCC tournaments are very rare, most of the upward motion will be from direct challenges. All Challengers can challenge higher-ups freely. This means that Challenger #12 can take a shot at Jack sitting on his perch, the #1 Challenger, or any of the Match Players or Subs. When a challenge is issued, you have three days [72 hours] to work out a time and time control to play. You will play two games and the lower-ranked seed needs 1.5/2 in order to move up. However, Subs, Match Players, and the King must only challenge one or two spots above. Although this will be harder to enforce due to the virtual format of the chess club this year, please try to arrange a time for all challenges. You should only challenge someone if you think you have a chance to beat him, and please don’t perpetually challenge someone if they defeat you the first time. As always, if you have any questions at all, please reach out to Jack, Dennis, and Ben by email or through the chess.com club chat, the chess.com "Chat" function, or direct messages.
