Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
A championship-level event suited to competitive club players looking for a significant over-the-board test. Spread over 3 days, the 5 rounds at G/90+30 (except Rd. 1 of 2-day: G/60; d5) require a solid time commitment. As a championship-level event, the atmosphere tends to be more formal and competitive than a typical club tournament.
