Classic scholastic tournament with a short time control, as most scholastic players have difficulty taking advantage of longer time controls, and cheese pizza to fuel them through the afternoon.  It is all about the trophies; bring yours home this Saturday!
Due to the large number of late sign ups in past weeks, we no longer guarantee those who sign up after 7 PM on Friday night will be able to play in the first round.  Late registrations not paired by 9:30 Saturday morning will receive a 1st round bye to allow the round to begin at 10 AM sharp.
Are you a stronger player?  Do you wish to improve your game playing longer time controls?  Consider Saturday Morning Chess.  Same great pizza, same format.  G/45;d5 and all players above 500.
