Tournament Information

REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN!

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, this tournament will be held online rather than in person as originally planned.

• Since this event has been moved to online, it will no longer be USCF-rated. Players will be competing for online rating points.

• The tournament will begin at 2 pm Eastern Daylight Time. Players are encouraged to join the tournament a few minutes early.

• There will be four sections: K-3, K-5, K-8, and K-12.

Trophies will be mailed to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in each section.

• 5 DMV Grand Prix points will be awarded for participation. 1 Grand Prix point will be awarded for each victory.

• Arena style pairings will be used. This means participants should be able to get a game very quickly after their previous game finishes. There is no exact pre-determined number of rounds (players get to play as many games as possible). The tournament will last for three hours. Players can take breaks or withdraw from the event at any time. The time control will be game in 25 minutes with a 5-second increment.

• Online computer analysis of all games will be possible immediately after the tournament!

• Entry fee: $15 by Friday 5/1/2020, $20 on Saturday 5/2/2020

• After you register, you will receive an email from Caissa Chess with instructions on how to join the tournament online. If you don't receive the email, please check your spam folder.

• If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Josh Hiban at tournaments@dmvchess.com
