It's the first chess tournament of the school year!
Although we are offering both a Rated section (for those with a USCF rating) and a Non-Rated section for beginning players, we will NOT issue a tournament report to the USCF. So, this is an opportunity for everyone to relax, not worry about ratings, but play in their first chess tournament early in the school year.
