Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss tournament offers separate sections for players at all levels—Open, Amateur, and Scholastic—with classical time control (G/90) and a meaningful prize fund across multiple rating categories. Entry fees are affordable ($120 if registered by November 12), and GMs/IMs compete free, making it accessible whether you're a serious competitor or returning to tournament chess. If you prefer a shorter commitment, a two-day option with faster time controls (G/60) is available for the first two rounds.
