Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This multi-section Congress welcomes players from beginner to expert level, with divisions ranging from U1200 through Premier, so you can find competition at your skill level. Choose between a relaxed 3-day classical schedule (40 moves in 80 minutes, then 30 minutes to finish) or a faster 2-day option with Game/60 rounds, depending on how much time you can commit. With a modest entry fee of $68–$100 and a $800–$200 prize fund across sections, it's an affordable way to compete in a well-established event at a convenient hotel venue.
