Round Rock ISD

This Round Rock ISD Bishops Chess Tournament is our new option for high school students. It is open to any student who is enrolled within the District in grades 9-12. Students must have a current membership to the United States Chess Federation to participate.

Previous tournament experience is recommended for all participants. Because we have never held a high school level tournament before we will determine sections based on the ratings of the registered players. 

The Bishops tournament runs from 7:45 AM to 4:00 PM on a flexible schedule as rounds finish. After round 1, sections will proceed independently from other sections. We may finish before 4:00 PM.

• Check in for the Bishops tournaments begins at 7:45 AM
• Round 1 matches begin at 8:30 AM. (Late arrivals will be withdrawn from the tournament and will be assigned a forfeit loss.)
• Rounds take from 40 minutes to 1 hour to run and we proceed as quickly as we can throughout the day.

Tournament Details:

• Sections:These will be determined based upon the ratings of the registered players.

Students who place in the top 6 of their section will receive a certificate.
