Southeast WI College Chess League

Individual Performance

Schedule

• Southeast WI College Chess Championship - 11/14

Fall 2024 Format

Players earn a score each night for the results of the rounds they played (wins/draws/losses/byes). If a player plays the Open Section on a given night, the amount added to their cumulative score is twice the score they earned on that night. If the player plays the Reserve Section, the amount added to their cumulative score is 1.75 times the score earned on that night as the Reserve Section has lower rated players. The total score is the way ranks are determined, with ties broken by post-event ratings.

Spring 2025 Format

Players earn up to three points each week for participating in quads, which are round robin style events featuring four players per section. Sections will be seeded based on cumulative score and byes requested. 

The top-scoring player(s) overall and the top-scoring U1200 player(s) will receive a trophy.

Fall 2025 Format

Instead of a seven-week long tournament, the Southeast WI College Chess League champion will be decided in a single four-round Swiss tournament. The U1200 class prize is now the U1401 class prize.

History

In the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters, this tournament circuit decided the Chess Club at UWM club champion. With these events now being hosted both on and off UW-Milwaukee's campus, the highest-scoring college player at the end of the tournament series will be awarded the honor of Southeast Wisconsin College Chess Champion. The top U1200 prize may be given to any player participating, regardless of affiliation with a university. The Chess Club at UWM club championship is now a four-round G/25d5 swiss tournament held the Friday after the SE WI College Chess Championship.
