Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

If you're a K–12 student in New Mexico looking for a scholastic championship event, this state tournament offers divisions for every grade level from kindergarten through 12th grade, so you can compete against players your own age. The 4-round Swiss format with classical time controls (Game in 40 minutes) gives you time to think through your moves without requiring a huge time commitment in a single day. At $50–$60 to enter, the entry fee is very reasonable for a state championship.
