In the 2015/2016 season we will be using the following format:
- There will be three meets:
- Monday 2015-10-12 at West Las Vegas High School, Las Vegas, NM
- Saturday 2015-12-05 at Santa Fe Prep School, Santa Fe (the Saturday after Thanksgiving)
- Friday 2016-01-15 at Northern New Mexico College, Española
- Teams will consist of 4 players. A school can present many teams.
- We want you to participate and bring as many people as you can, so:
- If you have only 3 players, bring them along! We will add a house player to complete the team.
- If you have more than 4 but less than 8 (or more than 12 but less than 16...), bring them all along: everyone will get a chance to play games.
- Each team of 4 players will have a registration of $25 to offset organizational costs.
- Please send email to Jim Johnston <jdjohnston100@gmail.com> and Mark Galassi <mark@galassi.org> to ask questions or let us know that you will be coming along. You may also phone us at (505) 629-0759 if you have questions.
We hope you will be able to join us and make this a strong event and a fun trip for your students.

More detail on the tournament format:
- Each team has players for board 1, board 2, board 3, board 4, in approximate order of strength.
- In a round two teams are paired and their players will play by board number.
- The first two meets will be an 8-round (4 rounds/meet) Swiss System tournament (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament) with all teams participating in one big section.
- The final meet will award a final winner: the teams will be sorted into groups of 6 high school and 6 middle school teams and each group will have a 4-round Swiss tournament. Overall winners will be determined in the top groups of six.
- Time controls will be "Game in 35 minutes with 5 second delay".
- We do not require that players be USCF members.
- But if in a game both players are USCF members we will rate that game.
