Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This New York State championship offers sections for girls of all skill levels, from unrated beginners (K–1) through advanced players, with both a leisurely 2-day classical format (G/60) and faster 1-day options (G/30) to fit your schedule. Whether you're looking for serious competition in the Open Championship or a supportive environment in a rating-based or age-based section, there's a fit here—and the entry fee is quite reasonable for a state championship event.
