Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This one-day Swiss is perfect for players rated under 1800 who want a serious but manageable time commitment with classical time controls. The event offers separate sections for different skill levels (Championship 1600+, U1800, and U1200), and titled players and National Masters compete free. At just $30–$40 for most players, it's an affordable way to get rated games in a friendly local club setting.
