‘Rapid’ chess is chess played with 15 minutes per player on the clock. It is the same time control as that used in the schools’ competitions making this a great, fun tournament for junior players of all standards. With the Championship and Reserves divisions – anybody can give this one a go!

The ACT Rapid Championship is open to all junior players born on or after 1 January 1987. Awards in the Championship tournament will be made to the first placegetter and runner-up, followed by awards for the top boy and girl in each age group - U16, U14, U12, U10, U8. Players may only receive one trophy. The Rapid Reserves is open to unrated (rapid ratings DO NOT count) players born on or after 1 January 1987 although these players may choose to play in the Championship event. Any child who has previously won a place trophy in an ACTJCL event in 2007 (not including encouragement awards or awards from the Primary Allegro event) must play in the Championship event and is excluded from the Reserves. Awards in the Rapid Reserves are made to the first, second, third, fourth and fifth placegetters along with encouragement awards. No age awards are made in the Reserves tournament.
