  • 4 round Swiss tournament.
  • USCF regular and quick rated. Time control: Game in 30 minutes with a 5-second delay.
  • Sunday, June 11th, 4 pm to approximately 9 pm.

  • Two Sections: Open (minimum 1300 rating to play) and Under 1500.
  • Note: In order to play in the open section, players must have a USCF rating of at least 1300. Players rated between 1300 and 1499 can play in either section. Players under 1300 should play in the Under 1500 section. A player can still join the open section if their unpublished (live) rating is over 1300, even if their monthly rating isn't 1300 yet. The tournament director may decide to have a lower rated player join the open section to maintain an even number of players in the section.
