Two Sections: Open (minimum 1300 rating to play) and Under 1500.
Note: In order to play in the open section, players must have a USCF rating of at least 1300. Players rated between 1300 and 1499 can play in either section. Players under 1300 should play in the Under 1500 section. A player can still join the open section if their unpublished (live) rating is over 1300, even if their monthly rating isn't 1300 yet. The tournament director may decide to have a lower rated player join the open section to maintain an even number of players in the section.

We will have enough chess sets for all players, but clocks will not be provided for everyone. If you have a clock, please bring one.
