Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This weekend state championship offers something for nearly every Kansas player, with separate sections for masters, intermediate players (under 1800), and amateurs (under 1400), plus a notably affordable entry fee of just $20–$70 depending on your section. The five-round Swiss format with classical time control (G/100; d5) is ideal if you want a serious, unhurried competition without a huge weekend commitment. Strong players compete free, making this a particularly good value for titled players.
