Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

Perfect for K-12 students looking for a welcoming scholastic event, this tournament offers three separate sections tailored to different skill levels—from complete beginners (Novice) through players rated under 1000 (Bishop)—so you can compete against peers at your level. The fast-paced G/10 format keeps the day moving with five rounds of quick chess, making it an ideal one-day commitment. At just $30–$40 to enter, this is an affordable way to get tournament experience.
