​
Our Scholastic Tournaments have 4 Rounds G/25 with a 5-second delay. Scholastic is intended for K-12 competitors; adults may compete in quads. The Scholastic Swiss sections depend on the number of players that register for the tournament. Usually, we have 2 scholastic sections: U 1000 and U 600. The top three finishers will receive trophies, medals, and certificates. First place finishers will receive a cash prize now in the U 600 and U 1000 scholastic sections! First place for U 1000 will win $100, while first place in U 600 will win $50.
​
For quads, we also depend on the number of players pre-registered. If it is that case that the total number of players registered for quads is not divisible by 4, the lowest quad will become a Swiss with anywhere from 5 to 7 players. Check with our Tournament Director before you register for our tournaments for more information. TDs can be reached by either the company email, by SMS, or on Facebook messenger through the official Facebook page.
​
Every participant of our rated tournaments is required to be a USCF member. Potential participants who are not yet members need to become one in order to participate. Join here.
​
​
Our tournament directors are National Master Bela Kis and Thomas O'Neal. We also have several assistant tournament directors who can assist you.
