Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This scholastic tournament is ideal for young players from elementary through high school who want a weekend competition with a manageable pace—each game gives you 25 minutes plus a 5-second increment, so matches move at a moderate clip without requiring an all-day time commitment. With separate sections for K–3, K–5, Grades 6–8, and Grades 9–12, you'll compete against peers at your level, and the entry fee of $30–$40 makes it an affordable way to test yourself over four rounds. If you're a school-aged player looking for a well-organized event in New Orleans, this is a solid fit.
