Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This single-day Swiss tournament offers something for nearly every skill level, with separate sections ranging from scholastic under-600 to open play, making it an inclusive event whether you're a beginner or experienced competitor. The blitz-adjacent time control (G/30; d5) keeps the pace brisk, and the modest entry fee of $30–$60 makes it accessible for players testing themselves across multiple sections or bringing family members to compete.
