Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
With sections ranging from 1100 to 2000+ rating, this 7-round Swiss offers a home for players at nearly every level, and you can choose between a faster 3-day schedule or the more leisurely 4-day format. Classical time controls in the Premier through U1500 sections provide serious, thoughtful play, while the U1300 and U1100 sections move at a quicker pace. Entry fees are reasonable across the board, with the U1100 section priced especially affordably at $40 less than the open sections.
