Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This five-round team event is perfect if you're looking for a competitive but relaxed day of chess in the Baton Rouge area—the $35–$45 entry fee is very affordable, and the G/40 time control gives you time to think without the all-day commitment of classical chess. Whether you're an established player competing in the Open section or working to break 1400, there's a division for you, and unrated players are welcome to jump into the Open at no penalty. If you can gather three friends from your city or metro area to form a team, you'll compete together while the pairing system ensures you won't face your own teammates.
