Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic tournament welcomes K-12 beginners across multiple skill levels (U900, U600, and U300 rating sections), making it an ideal entry point if you're new to competitive chess. The five-round Swiss format keeps the day moving at a comfortable pace with 30-minute games, and the modest $20–$30 entry fee makes it accessible for young players just starting out.
