Southwestern Metro Chess Championship

For grades K-5 (divided by grade)
Test your mettle against the best players in the Eden Prairie School District and surrounding areas! Students from throughout Eden Prairie Schools come together in this one-day tournament to decide who is the best. The rivalry begins here!

Team Trophy: We take the top four scores from each school to calculate the team champion. Whether there is 4 players from a school, 1 player or 20 players. We take the top 4 scores across divisions K-5. The school with the highest combined score will receive the TEAM CHAMPION TROPHY. We will have a team trophies for first through third place.

Individual Tournament: Students will play 6 rounds against students of similar grade level (K-1, 2-3, 4-5). We reserve the option to combine or separate grade levels based on the number of participants.

Swiss Play: Participants are matched against others of similar skill level and grade. If a player wins more games, they will play other players who have won more often as well. By the 6th round, we will have a clear champion.

Medals & Trophies: Trophies are given out to 1st – 5th place in each category (K-1, 2-3, 4-5). Medals are given out based on your performance. Every student will get either a trophy or a medal by the end of the day.
