Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This three-day Swiss tournament welcomes players across a wide range of strengths, from under-1200 juniors to open-level competitors, with sections and flexible scheduling so you can choose your level. The classical time control (40 moves in 80 minutes, then 30 minutes to finish, with 30-second increment) rewards thoughtful play, though the first two rounds run at a faster G/60 pace on the opening weekend. Entry fees are reasonable at $68–$100 depending on section, with a $20 discount for the youngest players, and top finishers in each section earn prize money.
