Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This free rapid event welcomes players of all skill levels, from novices in their own non-rated section to experienced competitors in the Championship and Challengers divisions. With a G/30+30 time control and 3-round format (4 rounds for novices), you'll complete the tournament in a single session of fast-paced chess. USCF rating is available, making it ideal if you're looking to build or establish your rating without any entry cost.
