Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss is ideal if you're looking for a classical tournament with flexible scheduling—choose between the full five-round event or a shorter two-day option with faster time controls. With sections ranging from U1200 through open play and a modest entry fee of $105–$155, there's a competitive level for most players, plus GMs compete free. Teams are also welcome, provided they average under 2200 rating.
