Hi, Are participants required to wear school uniform or private clothes?
Good day. This is not a schools event so learners are not required to wear school uniforms but may if they so choose.
Thanks Paul
Hi Paul,
Could you please share the whatsapp group link.
Thank you.
Please refer to the tournament brochure for links – you can download brochure above.
Hi Paul,
I tried to send proof of payment but my email was queued .
I think the receiving email might be full .
Hi Ahmed
Thank you for your message. I have checked on my side and my mailbox does not seem close to full. In fact I got the notification that you made a comment on the website and have received other emails today.
It seems from the following article the issue would most likely be on your side: https://www.gmass.co/blog/gmail-queued/
I also read that the email often sends after a while, so let’s see if the email gets sent. I will confirm receipt soon as I get it.
Where do I find the banking details to make EFT payment? Thx

Nkazimlo doesn’t have Chess SA number yet
No problem, simply capture “n/a” if your child has never player a Chess SA rated tournament.”
If you unsure, you can search by the player’s surname on the following link: https://chessa.co.za/ratingsdatabase/ratingsdb.aspx
If this is the player’s first ever Chess SA rated tournament, they will be issued with an ID after the tournament.
