Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This weekend tournament offers something for nearly every player, with sections ranging from scholastic divisions (K-6 through K-12) to adult categories from U1400 through Open, and FIDE rating opportunities in the top sections. Games are played at a classical pace in the main event (G/90+30, with a faster first round), while scholastic players enjoy a quicker G/30 format, and entry fees are quite affordable at $50–$150. All net proceeds support prostate cancer awareness, so you'll be playing for a meaningful cause.
