Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

Perfect for scholastic players seeking an affordable, same-day tournament with a moderate pace—the 5-round scholastic section uses 30-minute games, keeping the event manageable for younger competitors. Open players can enjoy a faster, 4-round format at G/60 with a reasonable entry fee of $40–$45. Both sections offer a welcoming community setting ideal for players who want competitive Swiss-system play without a heavy time commitment.
