Welcome to the Dr. David Ostfeld Memorial ICA Championships! Hosted at Glen Rock for the first time, this tournament is an exciting opportunity for players to have fun and put their abilities to the test against opponents of similar skill and age. This tournament is perfect for unrated players who are playing against opponents of a similar skill level.
Location: 354 Rock Rd, Glen Rock, NJ 07452
The tournament consists of four general sections: two unrated and two rated.
Each player is guaranteed four matches and trophies are awarded to top players!
Early bird registration expires the Sunday before the tournament.
The tournament will start at 2pm for all section and will finish no later than 7pm. Although the rated sections have specified round times, we reserve the right to start a section early if all games in a round finish earlier than anticipated.
Check in for all sections is between 1:45pm and 1:55pm.
All players in 3rd Grade and above are required to notate.
In addition to individual team prizes, we are giving out team prizes to the three best schools in the competition! Each school can register as many players as they wish in the tournament. However, only the three highest scoring players will have their scores counted towards their school total. Note, only academic institutions, not chess schools, can qualify for the prize.
All Rounds start at 2pm. Subsequent rounds will take place as soon as each game in the section finishes. Click on each section in the table for more information, including trophy placement, entry fees, and other requirements. Restricted to unrated players; K through 2nd grade.
