2016 Local Event Schedule Released

Published on

2016 will be the most robust offering of club activity in nearly a decade. If you love to play tournament chess, we are building a slate of activity that far exceeds the 4 events per year of recent years.  This bold undertaking will require more players, supporters and Tournament resources to make happen. Please be generous with your time when asked to help.

Features:

  • Rated tournaments every month (JAN-DEC)
  • Multi-day OPEN event in July with the intent of drawing more players from further away and larger payouts
  • Girls/Ladies Only event. Why not? No one is doing it and we are looking for sponsors who see the opportunity to get onboard with such a unique event.
  • More scholastic offerings with the intent of building a new base of players who compete locally, statewide and nationally
  • Special tournaments that continue to round out area players in all three USCF rating formats: Regular, Blitz and Quick rated events.
