Students will be in multiple sections, with a maximum of 8 students per section based upon rating, grade, or age.  For rated sections, unrated players will be assigned to a section based upon their age, with 50 rating points per year of age used to calculate the rating for purposes of section assignment and pairings.  For unrated sections, students will be assigned based upon grade and age.  Trophies will be awarded to top three in each section.
