Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This four-round Swiss event offers something for players at every level, with separate sections for Open (1800+), Under 1800, and Under 1200 players—no playing up allowed, so you'll compete against similarly-rated opponents. The rapid time control (G/30; d5) keeps the day moving while still allowing for meaningful games, and the modest $35–$45 entry fee makes it accessible. Half-point byes are available if you need scheduling flexibility.
