Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This Memorial Day weekend event offers something for players at every level, from beginners (U1200) through masters, with separate sections to ensure competitive matches. You can choose between a full three-day classical experience with G/90+30 time control or a compressed two-day schedule mixing faster and classical rounds. Entry fees are quite reasonable at $60–150 depending on section, and titled players who register early compete free.
