6. Eligibility

  • Players must have current US Chess Federation membership. The expiration date of their US Chess membership must be later than the last day of the tournament.
  • Not sure if you have a membership? Need to check the expiration date of your members? Visit: https://new.uschess.org/player-search
  • Become a member or renew your membership: https://new.uschess.org/player-search
     

7. Tournament Rules

  • Standard US Chess rules apply.
  • Forfeit time is 60 minutes. If player is not present at the board by 7:30pm, the opponent will be awarded a forfeit win.

8. FAQ

  • What do the time controls mean?
    Time controls tell you how much time you have for each game.
    G120;d5 means game in 120 minutes (2 hours) with a 5-second delay before each move. This means you get 120 minutes, your opponent gets 120 minutes, and at each move the clock counts down from 5 to 0 before the player's time starts. If player doesn't use up the whole 5 seconds, that time is lost.
  • How many games/rounds?
    The 7SS before the time control means there are seven rounds, or seven games that a player can play in the tournament. The tournaments are never elimination, so win or lose, you can stay in the tournament.
