Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This four-round Swiss event is ideal for players across all competitive levels, with separate sections for 1800+, under 1800, and under 1200 ratings to ensure balanced competition. The rapid G/30 format keeps the day moving while still allowing for meaningful play, and the $35–$45 entry fee is quite reasonable. Half-point byes are available (maximum two, with request required before round 2), making it accessible for players with scheduling constraints.
