These students earned this honor by achieving a peak post tournament rating according to the USCF's April Ratings Supplement. Additionally, players qualified as Personal Rights (PR) by winning a medal at the previous World Youth or if they achieve a Gold medal at the 2015 Pan American Youth Chess Championship. Participants may also qualify by winning the first place trophy in a Championship section of the National Elementary Championship, the National Junior High Championship, or the National High School Championship and by achieving top spots at other designated national scholastic events such as the Denker Tournament of High School Champions, the Barber Tournament of K-8 Champions, the National Girls Invitational Tournament, the All-Girls National Championship, and the U.S. Girls Championship. More information concerning qualifying regulations may be found here. The top players by rating in each age category are considered the United States Official Representatives by FIDE, the World Chess Federation, but all players compete in the event as part of the US delegation. Details concerning the 2015 World Youth tournament are currently unavailable but will be posted on the USCF website as soon as they are released. All players should contact Jerry Nash by May 29th to confirm their participation and to receive additional registration information.
