Round one is done in #4, so here we go again!

This is the only open tournament I do where the whole team can play each other. It usually takes about 8-10 weeks to finish the first round, so plan accordingly! And, for this tournament, we will have tie-breakers.

Thanks to those that have played in the previous Invite Only tournaments. This is the first series of tournaments I started, and it's been fun to watch it grow!

For trophies, I've posted pictures of John Wayne, who was an excellent chess player.

Winners of this tournament will be invited to the Winners Only Tournament. Thanks for joining, and good luck! Bigduke...
