This is a two-day tournament on November 9 and 10.
Eight rounds. Rounds occur as soon as soon as possible when all games are done (4 rounds Saturday and 4 rounds Sunday).
Participants who cannot attend on both days should leave a note in the field labeled "Comments/Bye Requests" when registering. We allow players to request up to four half-point byes. If someone misses an entire day, they will receive four half-point byes (2 points for the standings) for the day they are absent. Half-point byes do not impact USCF ratings.
Four sections: K-12, K-8, K-5, and K-3
