About the Amateur Tournament:
For beginners (Under 1400 ELO) looking to join a starter tournament, this event is an opportunity to experience and to practice with tournament rules, such as chess notation, and clock use in a casual setting.
Players can choose to play in the section for non-rated games or the section in which the games will be US Chess rated. Then the players are assigned opponents. Players will get to play 5 rounds.
Chess boards, pieces, and clocks will be available for use. If you have a chess clock, please bring it.
