Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This event offers something for players across a wide range of strengths, from beginners in the U1200 section to masters competing in the Championship—with free entry for GMs and IMs. You can choose between a relaxed classical pace (40/120, SD/30) over three days or a faster two-day schedule with game-in-40 time controls, depending on your preference and availability. At just $60–$110 for most players, the entry fee is quite reasonable for a six-round Swiss tournament.
