Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day championship is ideal for Florida players across all competitive levels, from beginners (U1200) through masters competing in the Open section. The classical time control of Game/90+30 allows for thoughtful, strategic play rather than quick tactics. With a reasonable entry fee starting at just $99, it's an accessible way to test yourself against quality competition in your rating range.
