Dear Parents,

Not too late to sign up for our weekend tournaments!
Saturday is Cupertino Swiss and Quads and Sacramento Quads for the kids!
Sunday we offer Fremont both Swiss and Quads!


Swiss is always in the mornings, and quads are always in the afternoon
Kids get trophies with winning record (50+% of max total score) and we give medals to all others.
It is NOT an elimination game, win or loose, players are expected to play all their game: 4 games in morning Swiss tournament, 3 games in the afternoon Quads tournament.
BayAreaChess submits the tournaments to USCF for rating within a few hours, so you can check the updated rating same day or early next morning.

Important notice for Quads: Please be sure to check in by 2:00pm.
Because Quads requires exactly four players per section, we want to ensure that all who register will show up. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please, register SOON to avoid late fee and to secure a spot for your child.
Tournaments are becoming more and more popular, and the capacity is limited at certain venues.
 
Should you have any question, or need help with registering, please do not hesitate to email:
ask@bayarechess.com and our team will get back to you super fast!

Many thanks,
Judit & BAC Team
