Hi! I'm holding an OTB tournament in my hometown, Waco, on Saturday, October 30th. It'll be a quad format, so four players per section sorted by rating, three rounds, G/75;d5, 1st place prize for each quad/section.

Right now, we have 12 players signed up, ranging from 700-1800 USCF. The tournament venue has room for up to 30 players.

Please send me a DM if you are in/near Texas, and interested in playing! happy.png

If you planned it a month later I would be able to come because I get my license nov 20. It’s a two hour drive though anyways. I live in Dallas.

Is USCF membership required? (I'm an hour away, but have never had an OTB rating or membership.) Just curious.

I assume you would need one - very likely to be rated.

Yeah, Waco's far from a lot of major cities in Texas, lol...

If you are attempting to obtain additional registrations, I would highly recommend posting an online tournament life announcement on the USCF website. Currently, no such announcement has been added to the listings of upcoming tournaments. If you have any questions or would like additional suggestions, please let me know.

If you cover the costs of travel I could make the time. A plan trip to cross the Atlantic can't be that expensive tongue.png.

Good luck with the tournament.
