Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This one-day scholastic and open tournament welcomes players of all levels, from novices to masters, with separate sections for elementary, middle, and high school students as well as adult competitors. Scholastic players will compete at a moderately paced G/45+10 time control, while open sections offer a more classical G/70+10 format for those who prefer deeper calculation. With entry fees ranging from just $1 to $60 depending on section, it's an accessible option for players looking for a local weekend event.
