Pogchamps Aftermath - Where can I find Tournaments like that?

Avatar of camomilk

I had a lot of fun following the Pogchamps tournament on twitch, for several reasons:

- The skill level was accessible to someone of my level
- Lots of good coverage and commentary
- Coverage of players prepping, learning and improving

In fact, it was so fun to watch, that I really wish that I could actually participate in a similar tournament. But I have no idea where to start, how would someone like me find a similar event to participate in?

A little about me:
- chess.com rating of 1429 for Blitz, 1586 for Rapid
- I've streamed a little on Twitch but I don't have a following

Part of what would excite me about such a tournament is the opportunity to collaborate with others to prepare in advance. I've heard of team tournaments where teams are formed with a combined max rating, which sounds like a promising format for something like this. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I'm glad there are more people interested in this. I'm planning on organizing a tourney for rating caps and maybe even an Open. Hopefully there are more people interested like this. I typically organize tourneys on challonge, cgs, and battlefy, but was curious if there's something like that here on chess.com

Glad to hear it, I'll keep my eyes peeled for your tournament. I think you may be able to organize tournaments on chess.com if you start a club, but I'm not very familiar with it.
