Grand Prix 2019-2020 Year Leaders
2019-2020 NSCF Scholastic Grand Prix
The NSCF Grand Prix competition encourages perseverance and the pursuit of excellence in chess by offering special awards to those players who play frequently and well in NSCF tournaments. The competition is structured by grade categories, with point assignments based on the strength of the sections a player has competed in, and the scores achieved in those sections. See What do I need to know about the Grand Prix, accessible from the Tournaments FAQ.
Our 2019-2020 Grand Prix Leaders
The leader tables below are based on the first ten 2019-20 NSCF Grand Prix events, held through February 29th, 2020.
Note: Only those players who compete in rated sections in a minimum of four of the NSCF Grand Prix events held during the 2019-20 NSCF tournament season will be eligible for a Grand Prix award. (The Greenwich City and Westchester County Championships are not included among the Grand Prix events.)
Please note: Our 2019-2020 Grand Prix season was cut short due to the coronavirus health crisis. It had been our hope to reschedule the cancelled events to the Fall, but the crisis continues. We look forward to having a new Grand Prix season for 2022-2023. Following, please find the results from the events that were completed.
