Dear Players,
I would like to personally invite everyone to the tournament over the Labor day weekend: weather your child is rated under 1000 or above 1000+ we have a tournament for everyone!
For young tournament players, rated under1000, we are organizing the Bay Area Kids Championship. 1-day tournament, with 5 section and 5 rounds, and awarding BIG trophies for everyone with a winning record.

Then if your child is more advanced player, or rated above 1000: the annual State Championship is traditionally during the Labor day weekend.
We are expecting over 200 players, and will be awarding 1st place trophies on top of the $20,000 prize fund. Please, select the 3day schedule if you prefer to play all rounds with long-time control, or select the 2-day schedule if you can't make it on Saturday, and/or if you prefer to play the first three rounds with a bit faster time control :)
