Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic tournament is ideal for young players rated under 1400 looking for a competitive yet accessible experience across three skill-based sections. The five-round Swiss format with rapid time control (G/25; d5) keeps the event moving while still allowing meaningful play, all in a single day. At $65, the entry fee is very reasonable for a well-organized scholastic event.
