Please note: All rounds begin promptly each Thursday at 7:30 PM, with registration between 6:45 - 7:15 PM. If you arrive for registration after 7:15 PM and the pairings have been posted with an even number of players, you will have to take a bye (inform the TD in advance if you're running late). Tournament details are subject to change without notice. The info on this site takes precedence over Chess Life magazine and the USCF's website. All entry fees are due in full at the time of registration. USCF membership is required!

REGISTRATION is only available onsite at the club. We do not offer advance registration. Your US Chess membership must be valid for the entire event in order to participate - NO EXCEPTIONS!

Players who properly request and are granted a bye for the final round (whether ½-point or 0-point, per event rules) remain prize eligible. Players who withdraw or fail to appear for the final round without notifying the TD are not prize eligible.
