Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss is ideal if you're looking for a serious weekend tournament with multiple skill levels from Master down to Class E, with flexible scheduling options including a faster two-day format if you can't commit to all three days. The classical time control (40 moves in 80 minutes, then 30-minute sudden death) suits players who prefer unhurried play, while the two-day section offers G/60 for those wanting a quicker pace. With a modest entry fee and a substantial prize fund up to $500, it's a well-established event with broad appeal across rating ranges.
