Following requests from participants and enabling more teams to register and take part in the Cup, the Organizing Committee of the FIDE – ISF World School Teams Online Chess Cup decided to make some changes to the event regulations. Given the above, the competition is postponed.
The new dates for Qualification events will be the 29th and 30th of April, and the Finals to take place on the 6th and 7th of May.
The changes below have been made to the regulations:
- Ages 8 (2015), 9 (2014) and 10 (2013) were included in the U15 category.
- Players could play in the upper group teams. So U15 category players can play both in U15 and U18 teams, but schools must choose one of that categories, as a player could not play in both categories.
The updated version of the regulations will be published soon.
