Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This two-day tournament offers classical time controls (90 minutes per side) across four skill-based sections, making it ideal for players rated under 1900 who want a serious competitive experience without a punishing pace. With a modest entry fee of $75–$95 and five rounds of Swiss-system play, it's a manageable weekend commitment for those seeking to test themselves against similarly-rated opposition. The Championship section also welcomes stronger players looking for a well-organized Labor Day weekend event.
