Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for young players and families looking for a Saturday tournament with manageable time commitment, this event offers four separate sections ranging from beginners (K-3 Under 200) through more experienced juniors and open players. The rapid time control (G/25; d5) keeps the day moving while still allowing for thoughtful play, and the low entry fee makes it accessible for players trying out competitive chess for the first time. Half-point byes are available if you need scheduling flexibility, and early registration before Wednesday saves you a few dollars.
