Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This single-day Swiss tournament welcomes players across a wide range of skill levels, from unrated beginners through intermediate competitors (up to 1399 rating), with dedicated sections for K-12 students at every level. The Championship section uses classical time controls (G/40) for serious players, while other sections move at a quicker pace (G/25) to keep the day moving. With a modest $50–$60 entry fee, it's an accessible option for young players looking to compete in a structured environment.
