Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic event welcomes players from kindergarten through 12th grade across five different sections, so whether your child is just learning chess or already rated, there's an appropriate competitive level. The five-round Swiss format means everyone plays all their games with no elimination, and the G/30 and G/25 time controls keep the pace moving while still allowing thoughtful play. With an entry fee of $50–$95 and a single-day format, it's an accessible way to get tournament experience.
