2025 Wyoming Open and State Championship

The Wyoming Open and State Championship Tournament will be held October 18-19 in Casper, Wyoming. This year we will have three divisions.

The Championship Division will be a 5-game round robin open to the top five highest rated players from Wyoming who register by the end of the day on Sunday, October 12. Carter Worcester will also be eligible to complete in the Championship Division since he won the Qualifier Division in last year's Championship Tournament. Note: players must commit to playing all five rounds. Withdrawing from the Championship Division will make the withdrawing player ineligible to compete in the 2025 Championship Division.

Open Division and the Under 1000 Division will be run as 5-Round Swiss-style tournaments. The Wyoming player with the highest number of points in the Open Division earns a slot in the 2026 Championship Division.

You must be a US Chess member to play. Entry fee: $30.00 by October 12, 2025. $40.00 after October 12. Players <1000 must pay a $10 play-up fee to compete in the Open Division. Site: St. Anthony Tri-Parish School, 1145 W. 20th Street, Casper, WY. Prizes by entries. Time Control: G/90 d5. Sponsored by the Wyoming Chess Association.
