All players from the same school will be grouped in one team and, as a result, will not play each other unless absolutely necessary. The top three scores from each school will be summed to create a final total.
NOTE: For this edition, we do not have a U1600 or Open Section! U1600 players will have their own competition on a different day. Open players should look out for the next ICA Fide Championship in January!
