Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss tournament offers something for players rated 1200–2100+, with separate sections tailored to different skill levels and flexible 2- or 3-day schedules to fit your availability. Classical time controls (40 moves in 80 minutes) dominate the longer format, while the 2-day option features faster G/60 games in the early rounds—choose based on whether you prefer deep calculation or quicker decisions. Entry fees are reasonable across the board, ranging from $63 for the U1200 section to $110 for top-rated players, with a $3 discount available for members of CSCA or WMCA.
