Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day state championship welcomes players across all skill levels, with separate sections for masters, players under 1600, and players under 1200, so you'll compete against peers at your level. The classical time control (G/90+10) allows for thoughtful, strategic play rather than quick decisions. At just $60–$80 to enter, it's an affordable way to test yourself in a competitive six-round Swiss format.
