Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for players looking for a single-day competitive challenge with reasonable time controls—four rounds of Game/45 means you'll have time to think without an all-day commitment. The event welcomes players of all levels with separate Open and U1600 sections, and features an attractive upset prize plus gender-inclusive payouts, so there's something to play for whether you're the favorite or the underdog. Entry fees are modest ($40–$60, with free entry for titled players), making this an accessible way to test your skills.
