Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This long-standing Memorial Day weekend tournament offers six rounds across multiple skill-based sections, from Under 1200 through Open, so you can compete against players near your own level with either classical 40/80 time controls or faster G/45 options depending on your schedule. Entry fees are very reasonable at $100–160 (and completely free for titled players), with even cheaper rates for the Under 1200 section. Whether you have a full three-day weekend or just two days available, there's a format that works for you.
