Tournament Sections
Students are placed into a section based on grade and (when applicable) their ASCF rating. Grade determines the lowest section a student may enter, and rating (if provided) helps place students in the most appropriate group.
Kinder
Kindergarten students are always placed in the Kinder section.
K–3 Under 500
Students in grades K–3 with an ASCF rating below 500 are placed in this section.
K–6 Under 600
Students in grades K–6 with an ASCF rating below 600 are placed in this section.
Champs
The Champs section is our most competitive section and is dual-rated, meaning students receive both ASCF and USCF rating results.
How Placement Works (Simple Guide)
- Kinder: Always placed in Kinder
- K–3: If ASCF rating is below 500, placed in K–3 U500
- K–6: If ASCF rating is below 600, placed in K–6 U600
- Champs: For higher-rated / most competitive players (dual-rated ASCF + USCF)
If you’re unsure which section is best for your student, we’re happy to help place them.
