Hey Hey Guys! I'm thinking/want to attend my first *RATED* chess tournament. - I now have a USCF membership, and would like to get some rated tourneys in!
I live close to Los Angeles. - California.
ANYWAYS; I found this suiting tournament at the LA Chess Club, but since I'm new to Tournaments, I don't understand some things.
Here it is;
Upcoming Tournaments
October
October 1&2, 22&23, 29&30
Saturday & Sunday G/61
3 separate events
A weekly tournament (May join USCF at site, LACC membership is optional)
Format: 3 Rounds of Game/61/d5
Rounds: 12, 2, 4 pm each day
Reg: 11-12 pm.
Entry Fee: $30 / $20 LACC members, No prizes ½; siblings ½; Free new LACC members
Alright, the first thing I'm not sure about, is, is it RATED for USCF? - Will I get a rating after playing/scoring in it? - Does it say anywhere?
Second, It says "Prizes; 1/2 collection" - What in the world does that mean guys?
Thirdly, It says "3 rounds of game/61/d5" - Now, I know that that means I have 60 minutes to complete the game, though what does the d5 mean?
I will always come to Chess.com for a question or before buying/concerned about something, because I know I'll get the best feedback and support here. - Thanks guys!
To answer your most important question, yes, it is USCF rated. As for the rest, call the number provided to find out further info from the TD/representative of the LACC.
