This will be a Swiss style tournament in which all players play in all rounds, there are no eliminations. It is open only to beginner to intermediate players (unranked to 1400 USCF ratings only - no advanced players please). This is an informal tournament for fun only, it is not official or sanctioned in any way or meant to help players advance into other competitions.
All registrants will receive a Google form via email to fill out to help tournament organizers determine their skill level for the initial pairings. Registrants who do not submit the Google form by March 22 will be removed from the list and their spot will be given to a person on the waitlist.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate walk-ins. Advance registration is required.
We expect there to be five rounds of play but a sixth final round may be necessary to determine the winner.
We will have a limited number of chess clocks available. By signing up to play, you are agreeing that you may have to use a personal phone using ChessClock.org to participate.
There will be an hour break for lunch. Players are expected to bring their own lunch, no kitchen or microwave facilities will be provided. There will be a snack break in the afternoon with snacks provided.
