We provide full event management, from official FIDE-standard chess sets and digital clocks to pairing software and tournament sanctioning, so that schools and clubs have a turn-key solution for hosting competitions. ### Tournament Standards and Governance We operate strictly under the rules laid out by the World Chess Federation (FIDE) and the United Karnataka Chess Association (UKCA). When we host a district selection tournament or an open rapid championship, our focus is on creating a level playing field. This means enforcing clear time controls, managing pairings through recognized software, and ensuring that arbiters are present to maintain order and resolve disputes according to the laws of chess. ### Why These Events Matter These district and local championships serve as the foundation for a player's progression. They are often the first point of entry for students aiming to qualify for state-level competitions. By maintaining an official register of results and adhering to age-category cut-offs, we ensure that every win is recognized. Whether you are a school looking to host an inter-school tournament or a player seeking a valid competitive event, we manage the logistics from registration to certificate distribution. ### What We Provide - **Equipment:** Professional weighted chess sets and digital clocks. - **Logistics:** Pairing management, tournament scheduling, and venue coordination. - **Certification:** Issuing participation certificates and organizing awards for top finishers in age categories (U7 to U15). - **Sanctioning:** Handling the necessary paperwork for official district and state selection events. We coordinate with district associations to ensure that every tournament we conduct is recognized within the formal chess ecosystem, giving participants the credibility they need as they move up the ranks. ## About Panchajanya Chess Academy We are Panchajanya Chess Academy, established in 2015 and officially registered with the United Karnataka Chess Association.
