SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• The Chess Center and all chess equipment will be disinfected and thoroughly cleaned several times daily

• Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipe stations will be placed throughout the chess center

• Disposable gloves will be provided if desired

​

Effective June 21, 2021

Masks and temperature checks will not be required. Participants may wear a mask if they choose to.

On May 14, North Carolina dropped most capacity restrictions, social distancing measures, and mask mandates for businesses. We wanted to give our members a chance to get acquainted with those changes. We now feel as though the mask requirement at the CCCSA is no longer needed.

See Governor Cooper's Executive Order 215 for more details.

• Players must register weekly and in advance
