Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekend tournament offers something for players at every level, from beginners through advanced players, with separate sections for under 1400, under 1800, and open championship competition. The time control is moderate—60-minute games in early rounds and 90-minute games in the final two rounds—giving you a meaningful but manageable commitment over Saturday and Sunday. At $50–60 entry, it's an affordable way to get competitive tournament experience.
