While this tournament is typically hosted in the June-July school holidays, it had to be moved to December due to the Queensland Government’s Covid-19 guidelines.
Covid-19 regulations mandate a fixed number of participants in the venue as of the 14th October 2020. Unlike previous years, this tournament faces a potential limit on numbers. However, it is hoped that this cap will be lifted prior to the start of the event. Nevertheless, each respective flyer states the maximum number of players that will be accepted. This is subject to change depending on the most recent government regulations two weeks prior to the tournament’s commencement. Participants will be accepted from 12pm the 21st October until the respective cap is met. For any queries/concerns, please contact queenslandjuniorchamps@caq.org.au
Another great tournament, the Wendy Terry Memorial has shifted weekends. A limit of 90 players can take part in this event so check out the flyer to see all the registration information and to book your spot!
Starts: December 21, 2019
Ends: December 22, 2019
Location: Buranda State School, 24 Cowley St, Woolloongabba QLD 4102, Australia
What better way to finish the year with a final tournament! This is also a perfect opportunity to drop the kids off and go do the Christmas shopping, and there is a canteen available on-site!
With 3 rounds on each day, the schedule is very friendly. There are two half point byes allowed (except final round), with the time control being 60 minutes + 20 seconds per move added.
CAQ Membership is required, however this will roll over into 2020.
Get involved for some last minute Australian Junior practice 🙂
