✅ UPCOMING TOURNAMENTS
Future tournaments held by Cebu School of Chess will all be sanctioned by the NCFP. We are also striving to make our tournaments as FIDE tournaments so players will have their ratings under FIDE.
In lieu with this, players will have to be a member under the NCFP to play in our events. Membership will be P300. Keep posted because we have an upcoming tournament this early April!
