Gold Coast High Schools Teams Championship 2005,
Round Two

 
Championship Grade Final Standings
Somerset - Kaspar 26
Somerset - Chen 18
Somerset - Haron 16
Saint Stephens - Hardy 15.5
All Saints - Lee 12
Merrimac - Jule 8.5
Kings - Eom 8.5
Kings - Matsui 7.5

The top teams in reserve grade were:

Somerset - Scott 19.5
Nerang - Adams 17
Saint Stephens - Nicerio 17
All Saints - Bentley 14.5
Somerset - Gauci 13.5
Kings - Chalker 12.5
It appears that several schools, who would normally attend this event, were put off by the fact it was run in the evening in Surfers Paradise, and this was unfortunate.

The top six teams in championship grade automatically qualify for championship grade on finals day on Tuesday 6 September at Saint Stephens College.

 
The absence of several schools for round two weakened the competition and it is therefore proposed that the following four schools with strong chess teams be offered places in the championship grade on finals day: TSS, Aquinas, Varsity College and Benowa.
 
Accordingly, subject to any appeal, the following will be the 12 teams in championship grade:
 
Somerset - Kaspar, Somerset - Chen, Somerset - Haron, Saint Stephens - Hardy, All Saints - Lee, Merrimac - Jule, Kings - Eom, Nerang - Adams, TSS, Aquinas, Varsity College, Benowa.
