Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic event is perfect for young players in Arizona looking for a welcoming, affordable entry into competitive chess, with sections ranging from beginners (K-3 Under 200) through intermediate players up to the Open section. The rapid time control (G/25; d5) keeps the tournament moving while still allowing meaningful games, and the modest $25–$35 entry fee makes it accessible for families. With four dedicated sections based on grade and rating, you'll find opponents at your level whether you're just starting out or aiming for the Open division.
