BRING YOUR OWN SETS AND CLOCKS!

Format



  • 4 Rounds Swiss
  • G/45 (+ 5 seconds delay).  Unrated Scholastic Sections may have faster time controls at TD's discretion.
  • Accelerated Paings may be used at TD's discretion.
  • Section 1: Open Section (USCF Rated) - Any current USCF Member may play in this section.  No age or rating limits.
  • Section 2: Scholastic Section (USCF Rated) - Any current USCF Scholastic member may play in this section.  However, High schoolers are encouraged to play in the Open Section.  Only limitation is that you must be in K through 12.  If there are many entries in this section, I will split it up by grade levels if necessary such as K-5 and K-12.
  • Section 3:  Unrated Section (Not USCF Rated) - Technically this is an unrated Open section which will allow both kids and adults to play in it.  IF there are meny entries in this section, I will split it up.


If you wish to take any byes, please inform TD before the first round.

There is also a minimal requirement of 6 players per section for that section to have a tournament.

Cost


$4 ($2 goes to the Carver Center).
Members of the Carver Center will pay only $2.
