Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for young players looking to shake off summer rust with a back-to-school chess event, this tournament offers both a quick blitz option (5 rounds at G/5) and a more measured championship format (4 rounds at G/15) across three age-based sections from K–12. With entry fees ranging from just $25 to $80 depending on the section, it's an affordable way to get competitive experience before the school year kicks into gear.
