Events for June 2023 are up!
The Events Page has the tournaments for the first four weeks of June – give them a look and be sure to pre-register before showing up!
With summer break just around the corner, we expect more and more scholastic players to show up as well as college-aged people headed home for the break. We’ll lift the cap of 24 players as we get more equipment and ensure we can run our tournaments correctly as-is.
Thanks so much for making the club a great success!
See you this week for classical!
Our Dual-Rated events that count towards USCF Regular and Quick ratings have had their time control reduced from G/40; d15 to G/30; d15.
This means that it is no longer 40 minutes base time, but 30 minutes. We are making the change to shorten up these events, as the 2nd round depends on the 1st round’s results and the last event went longer than usual.
They will still be “close ratings” meaning that you will play someone close to your rating in the first round guaranteed. In the second round, we pair by the first round results (win/lose/draw) but also try to keep the ratings close as well. Unrated or provisionally rated players may be paired with rated players of similar skill as per USCF recommendations.
We had 16 total players for tonight’s mini-swiss, dual-rated event! Congratulations to the following players who got a perfect 2.0/2.0 in their two games:
- Henry Hua
- Khoi Ngoc Le
- Nehanraj Ramesh
We’ll see you next week for Classical! We shortened up the time control to G/60; d30. Still one single slow game.
