Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
The U1100 section runs Saturday and Sunday only with five rounds of G/60+10 play, offering a two-day format at a standard entry fee. The Scholastic section is a one-day event on Saturday with four faster rounds (G/25;d5) for players rated U700 or unrated, requiring no USCF membership. Both sections award trophies to the top three finishers, with medals for players who achieve even scores.
