These students earned this honor by meeting or exceeding rating thresholds established by the USCF for this event. Additionally, two players attained the Personal Right to attend by having won a medal at the previous World Youth or a Gold medal at the previous Pan American Youth. Participants may also qualify by achieving top spots at designated national scholastic events such as the Kasparov Chess Foundation All-Girls National Championships, the US Cadet Championship, the Denker Tournament of High School Champions, the Barber Tournament of K-8 Champions, and the National Girls Invitational Tournament. The top player by rating in each age category is considered by FIDE (the World Chess Federation) as the official representative of the United States for that age category. All players will compete in the event as part of the US delegation. Details concerning the 2014 World Youth tournament are not yet available but will be posted on the USCF website as soon as they are released. All players listed in this announcement should contact Jerry Nash ([email protected]) immediately to confirm their contact information and to receive additional registration information.
