Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This five-round Swiss event welcomes players of all levels, from scholastic newcomers to titled masters (who play free if they register early), with separate sections for U1200, U1600, and open play. The classical and faster time controls accommodate different preferences—G/90+10 for serious preparation in the upper sections, and quicker G/40 or G/25 formats for younger or faster-paced competitors. At just $35–140 depending on section and registration timing, it's an affordable way to compete on the Virginia Beach oceanfront.
