Andy Nowak The Northern Schools Chess League
  League Director: Andy Nowak - (505)988-1570

The Northern Schools Chess League (NSCL) was founded by Andy Nowak in 1977. The League is divided into the High School/Junior High Division and the Elementary/Primary Division. The competition is between five or six player teams from schools throughout north central New Mexico. Team members from one school are paired against those of another in order by strength and the sum of the results of all the individual matches determine the winner of the team match. League Rules / Player and Team Procedures / Guidelines for a Club Challenge Ladder (All in PDF Format) /

In the High School/Junior High School Division the first two meets determine the seeding for the third meet (the "Finals") where the top four teams in each of the Large High School, Small High School, and Junior High School brackets play each other for that bracket's championship. Remaining teams will play in the consolation bracket (or brackets). In the consolation bracket(s), a trophy will be awarded to the top finishing team. In each of the other brackets, all four teams will receive trophies.
