Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic event is perfect for students from kindergarten through 12th grade of any rating level, with separate sections for both rated and unrated players so you can compete among peers at your skill level. The single-day, four-round Swiss format uses a reasonable classical time control (40 minutes per side in the first three rounds, 60 minutes in the final round), giving you plenty of time to think through your moves. At just $30–$35 to enter, it's an affordable way to get tournament experience or improve your rating.
