How does the school competition work?
In Chessity, an online school competition is held weekly, for which students must play in their own school team.
This is how the online school chess competition works
Participating is very simple. You don't have to do anything for it. As soon as one of your students participates in a chess tournament in the Arena, your school is included in the ranking. Every week a new competition starts on Monday. After the last tournament on Friday, the final standings of that week are drawn up.
The school score is the total of the high scores of the four best chess players from the school. For each student, the best personal tournament result of the week counts. The children can even play their way into the school team on Friday afternoon. This keeps it exciting until the last moment.
