November SCL Signups are Now Open
Signups are now open for our November League Qualifier and Tournament Series to begin on Monday, November 4, 2019.
New players for our Chess.com Swiss tournaments must begin by signing up for our League Qualifier tournament. To be eligible for the League Qualifier you must have been a Chess.com member for more than 30 days and must have a minimum of 20 Rapid rated live games played on Chess.com against at least 10 different opponents. The easiest way to accumulate the needed games is to join G/15+10 or G/30 live tournaments on the Chess.com live server. You must successfully complete the tournament by following the rules. You do not need to win any games, but must follow the rules, complete all the rounds, and play at least one game.
Swiss Tournaments
New players can sign up for our 3 round League Qualifier for Chess.com players. You must be a member of the Dan Heisman Learning Center to be included. Then go to slowchessleague.org and register to get started. You don’t have to win a game to qualify. Just follow the rules and complete the tournament.
Qualified league players can choose from:
SCL OTB Style - 3 Rounds in November
Swiss G/45+45 for Chess.com - 1 or 2 games per week
Swiss G/90+30 for Chess.com - 1 game per week
