Tournament Details

  General Information

We run a traditional knock-out style open tournament each Wednesday with registration beginning at 5:30pm and a random draw at 6:15pm. Byes will be awarded on a random basis. Everyone will be able to play at least two matches with a consolation bracket for those that lose their first round match. Matches are 7 points in the main bracket and 5 points  for the consolation.  Clocks are mandatory with time limits enforced for all  7 point matches (12 seconds per move and 14 minutes of reserve time for each player), and 5 point matches (12 seconds per move and 10 minutes of reserve time). The doubling cube is used and the Crawford Rule is in effect.

Players who are less experienced with open tournament rules have the option of playing in a separate division with 3 point matches in the main bracket and 1 point consolation matches.  Clock use is preferred but not strictly enforced.  Time permitting we will also offer a 1 point match DMP tournament to players eliminated from their main event. 

$20 entry fee (100% return to the prize pool). Optional side pools will also be available.  The DMP tournament has a separate $10 entry with rebuys permitted. 

   Free lessons between 5:30 – 6:00 pm.
