Sections: Choose the section that best fits your online/USCF rating. We have a "local" rating system that is unique to our club (it has no impact on any official chess ratings). Once you play a few games, you will be given a rating that can help you decide which section to choose.

Game Format

Games are 5 minutes + 2 second increment blitz matches.
It is a Double-Swiss format which means you will play each opponent two times (once as white, once as black).
There are 10 rounds. You will play 5 different opponents twice so rounds 1 and 2 are against your first opponent, 3 and 4 against you second, etc.
This event is meant to be casual. If an illegal move happens, pause the clock, point it out, and take the move back. If it happens twice in one match you may claim a win.
We play clock move, meaning your turn is done when you hit the clock.
