Notes/Terms:

Registration: The entry fee is $30 per tournament and online registration closes at 12pm the day of the tournament. In addition, onsite registration is available on the day of the tournament from 10am to 1pm. Both online and onsite registration will close if we reach our maximum capacity of 80 participants.

The first round starts at 1:30pm. Further rounds are played immediately after individual sections are finished.

Players are split into groups of four (quads) by rating, although divisions into sections of six (swiss format) are occasionally implemented circumstantially (to either accommodate numbers or better group players based on rating).

Players rated under 1000 play in G/30;d5 sections (30 minutes per person with a five second delay per turn), while players rated over 1000 play in G/45;d5 sections (45 minutes per person with a five second delay). Each competitor is guaranteed three rated games. For new players, click HERE to learn how to get an official rating.

Ratings: For rated sections, a US Chess membership is required.

Prizes: We offer a $60 cash prize for winners of each section and a $15 award for swiss section runners up.

We provide chess sets, scoresheets, clocks, and pencils so all you need to bring is yourself and an enthusiasm to play! 

Our tournaments are for people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels so don’t hesitate to compete!
