If entries exceed our expectations, we will add more trophies! We will present the following trophies at a minimum. We will use your Regular over-the-board (OTB) rating from the June 2023 supplement for sectioning and prizes. Unrated players who are US Chess members may register for either section. We will have a Novice (U500) section and an Open (500+) section. US Chess members will register for a rated section based on ability. These sections are not US Chess rated, and US Chess membership is not required. Senior Rookie is for girls in grades 6-12th. Junior Rookie is for girls in grades Pre-K through 5th. Unrated girls / non-US Chess members will register for a "Rookie" section based on school grade (just completed if school year is over). HRCA is an inclusive organization that follows the US Chess Transgender policy. All other players are strongly encouraged but not required to take notation - we'll talk more about this at orientation. Chess notation will be required ONLY in the Open section. The time control for this tournament is G/40 d5 - this means each player has 40 minutes to complete all their moves, and the clock doesn't start counting down for the first 5 seconds (a "delay" or grace period).
We will play 4 or 5 rounds based on the number of entries we receive. You will play all rounds unless assigned a bye for an uneven number of players.
This is a "Swiss" tournament, which is similar to a bracket system. See below for the link to register for the other activities.
