Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Whether you're a top-tier competitor or just getting started, Wisconsin's state championship offers a section for your level—Premier for masters, Reserve for intermediate players, and Novice for those building their skills. You can choose your time commitment: play all five rounds over the full weekend, compete in the condensed 2-day Premier/Reserve schedule, or join the 4-round Novice section, with entry fees as low as $40 (and free for highly-rated players who register early). All sections use classical time controls that give you time to think, making this a serious yet accessible championship event.
