Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekend tournament in New Orleans offers flexible scheduling with both 2-day and 3-day options, so you can choose the pace that works for you. With sections for players up to 1800 and a separate U1400 division, there's a competitive home for most intermediate players. The classical time control (G/90+30) gives you room to think through your moves in a serious 5-round Swiss format.
