Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This event is split between competitive adult quads with classical time control (G/85) and a scholastic section perfect for younger players, with entry fees as low as $10 for students. The scholastic division uses a faster G/40 format, making it ideal if you want a single-day tournament with a quicker pace, while the quad section offers a more leisurely classical experience for serious adult players. Whether you're a student looking for an affordable, fast-paced competition or an experienced player seeking deeper classical games, there's a format here that fits.
