Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This multi-day state championship offers five skill-based sections from U1200 through open play, so players of all levels can compete fairly. If you prefer a quicker pace, the 2-day option runs the first three rounds at Game/40, while the full four-day event uses classical time controls (40/80, SD/30). The modest entry fee of $98–$130 makes it accessible, with free entry for titled players.
