IMPORTANT: The venue for the scholastic tournament has changed.

NOTE ABOUT VENUE CHANGE:

Due to higher-than-expected turnout for the 3-day Beltway Open main event, we have moved the scholastic championship tournament to a different venue not far from the original location. Instead of being at the Tysons Corner Westin, this scholastic tournament will take place at the Courtyard by Marriott Tysons McLean hotel on 1960 Chain Bridge Rd, McLean, VA 22102. The 3-day main-event Beltway Open will remain at the original venue.

The Courtyard Marriott has a garage with free parking (and there may be some spots available in front of the hotel as well). The tournament will take place upstairs in the Fairfax Room unless the hotel later decides to move us to a different room.
