Registration ends November 12th at 11:59pm or when seats are filled.
📝 On the registration form, you’ll be asked for your U.S. Chess Federation or Online rating (or the strongest bot you’ve beaten). If you don’t have a rating, you have time to play a few games online to determine your rating so that you get matched more appropriately at the tournament; you can message us on FB after registration and let us know your score. If you don’t have a rating when you register, that’s fine too. Ratings just help us to match you better during the tournament.
🕦 If you have a chess timer, please bring it. You can indicate this in the form.
♟️ Tournament size chess boards will be provided.
💧 Water and snacks will be provided.
