Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss offers something for most competitive players from beginner to expert, with separate sections ranging from U1100 through Premier and a flexible two-day option featuring faster time controls if you prefer a shorter commitment. The entry fee is quite reasonable at $78–$140 depending on rating, and you can register for mixed doubles at no extra cost. If you're part of a team averaging under 2200, you'll have the added option to field players across different sections and schedules.
