Please tell me...

What is the difference between scholastic chess and regular chess?

Scholastic chess is played by scholars on stools in schools on a schedule.

Regular chess isn't.

What is a scholar?

Someone who thinks they know a lot more than they actually do.

I do not know of any such persons. Could you please provide examples?

^^^^^ TROLLING ^^^^^

What's a scholar?  OMFG!  Just look at the word itself.  What other word does it look like it's derived from?  SCHOOL?  Anyone?

A scholar is a person that attends a school, and in the case of scholastic chess, it's specifically Kindergarten thru 12th grade, not college or beyond.

In other words, scholastic chess involves strictly kids!  Usually somewhere between 5 and 18.

You dont have to be regular to play regular chess, where you have to be sure you are getting enough fiber to play regular chess.

Why put labels on it?

Scholastic player, regular player, only plays on the rooftop of my house on a full moon player, pffffff

If you want to play in scholastic section among 11 yr old boys, go ahead, who's gonna stop you OP?

In US, here's the official definition

Here, scholastic chess tournament is usually limited to K-12 grades, sometimes limited to K-8 or K-6 so adults can't participate.  Most tournaments also limit player ratings; usually u 1800 at the top section; and many tournaments also create sections based on upper age limit, e.g. K-2, K-12.  Generally, there are no real prizes (just trophies and books); so you can never recover your money.
