You do not have to play in all six tournaments to register for the bundle, but the more tournaments you play in, the greater the savings!
The format for all tournaments will be a four-round Swiss tournament with time control G/30;d5. This tournament is open to all scholastic players with a USCF membership, as well as an unrated section available to any player looking to get into tournament chess (no USCF membership required for this section). The two-rated sections are divided K-5th grade and 6th-12th grade. We also have an unrated section for those interested in participating in tournament chess, that section will be K-12th grade. A player purchasing the bundle is eligible to change from the unrated section to either the K-5th rated or 6th-12th grade rated sections, but only tournaments within a section will count towards grand prize total scores.
