The U.S. Chess Federation has announced plans for the 1999 U.S. Amateur Team Championship Playoff, scheduled for March 27-28. The team playoff features the four winning teams from the annual series of U.S. Amateur Team Championship tournaments, held each year in sites across the country over President's Day Weekend. The U.S. Amateur Team Championship regional events attract over two thousand individual players, who form hundreds of teams and join together in the quest for a national title. The overall winning team will receive a set of commemorative watches, courtesy of the U.S. Chess Federation.
Players still have time to register for the various regional team tournaments.
A complete set of playoff rules is also available on the USCF website.
