Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

Perfect for players of all levels looking for a quick Saturday event, this tournament offers separate sections for beginners (U900), intermediate players (U1600), and open competition, all with a modest $35 entry fee. Games move at a brisk pace with Game/30+30 time controls (or Game/25 for the U900 section), making it an ideal half-day commitment, and half-byes are available if you need scheduling flexibility.
