Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic tournament is perfect for young players from kindergarten through high school, with five sections accommodating everyone from beginners (Under 200) to intermediate players (Under 900) and a competitive Open section. The rapid format with 25-minute games and a 5-second delay keeps the day moving briskly, and the affordable entry fee of $25–$35 makes it an accessible way to get tournament experience. With four rounds in a Swiss-system pairing, you'll face opponents near your skill level regardless of your rating.
