ACT Junior Chess League
Promoting Junior Chess in the Capital
ACTJCL Interschool Chess Competitions
Zone Details
Schools are expected to compete within their zone and every effort has been made to set dates which do not clash with other activities on the PSSA & SSSA calendars. Swapping zones often creates difficulties with balancing numbers and may even reduce the number of entries that can be accepted from schools competing in their “right” zone. Requests to “swap” will only be considered after the closing date for the new zone and entries will only be permitted if all schools from the new zone have already been accommodated.
