Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
If you're a scholastic player looking for a quick Saturday-Sunday commitment, the U1100 section offers 5 rounds of G/60 chess with flexible scheduling and a modest $35 entry fee. The one-day U800 scholastic event is perfect for younger players seeking a fast-paced alternative with trophies for the top finishers and medals for even scores. The open sections welcome players up to master level, with classical time controls (G/100+30) and a range of entry fees based on rating, including free entry for titled players.
