Background:

The Northwest Chess Grand Prix is designed to encourage active chess play in the Pacific Northwest by awarding cash prizes to players in each state (Washington, Oregon and Idaho) and each class (from Class D and below to Masters) based on the number of points scored in tournament play plus a bonus for playing in all games of a tournament.

Tournament organizers pay $1 per player per event (with a $10 minimum) to have their events entered into the Grand Prix. This money goes into the prize fund distributed after the end of each year, together with other donations. The prize fund is administered by Northwest Chess, and payments should be made promptly to the NWC Business Manager after each event. The Grand Prix administrator, to whom the tournament crosstables should be sent, is Murlin Varner. (USCF crosstable acceptable.)
