There will be four sections: Open, Under 1600, and Under 1100, and Under 700. These sections are determined by over-the-board USCF-regular rating. For example, a player with a rating of 1400 would belong in the Under 1600 section, a player rated 600 would belong in the Under 700 section, and so forth. Unrated players can play in any section. If you don’t know which section you belong in, feel free to contact us.

All participants must be active members of the US Chess Federation.

Players will not be required to join a Zoom call during the tournament, but we will monitor the games very closely to ensure fair play. Lichess has an excellent algorithm for detecting cheating, and we will also do a post-tournament fair-play inspection. If a participant’s account is flagged for cheating by lichess, we have the prerogative to submit the player’s games as losses for USCF-rating purposes, or (in rare cases) annul the games.
